McDavid notches three assists in Game 6 win
Connor McDavid notched three assists, two shots on goal, two PIM, two hits and a plus-3 rating in Saturday’s 5-1 win over the Canucks in Game 6. McDavid responded to his second scoreless outing of the playoffs with a showcase of playmaking. He set up goals by Zach Hyman, Evan Bouchard and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins as the Oilers took control Saturday and forced a Game 7 on Monday. McDavid is up to 21 points (two goals, 19 assists) with 31 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-5 rating over 11 playoff appearances. He hasn’t gone multiple games in a row without a point since a three-game slump from Nov. 6-11.
Boeser will not play for Canucks in Game 7
Brock Boeser is dealing with a blood clotting issue and will not play in Monday’s Game 7 against Edmonton, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. Boeser’s status moving forward is unclear, which would be a huge factor in the Western Conference Finals against Dallas if Vancouver wins Game 7. Fortunately, his condition is not considered to be life-threatening. He’s scored seven goals and 12 points through 12 games this postseason, including a hat trick in Game 4 of the first round against Nashville. If Ilya Mikheyev (undisclosed) misses Game 7 as well, Sam Lafferty seems to be the most likely candidate to step in for Boeser.
