Edmonton star gets a goal, but Cup champions get the win
Connor McDavid keeps getting the better of Sidney Crosby. Statistically, anyway.
Considering the end result, it’s a trade-off Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins can live with.
McDavid assured the struggling Oilers of a least a point by forcing overtime with a late goal , but Phil Kessel beat Cam Talbot 42 seconds into the extra period to lift the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins to a 2-1 victory on Tuesday night.
