McDavid scores a goal on five shots
Connor McDavid scored a goal on five shots, added two assists and logged two hits in Friday’s 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3. All three of McDavid’s points came on the power play — he’s earned seven of his nine points this postseason with the man advantage. The all-world center has added nine shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating. McDavid’s still a little assist-heavy (one goal, eight helpers), but the Oilers won’t care how he gets his offense as long as it continues to show up in bulk.
Talbot allows six goals on 40 shots
Cam Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday’s 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3. Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he’s lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old’s play has been lackluster, but he’s not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it’s unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.
