<p>McDavid’s offense did not stop there. After Florida made it 3-1, the Oilers were on the power play when McDavid carried the puck into the Panthers’ zone, deked around several Florida skaters and made a cross-crease pass to <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/players/news/corey-perry/36">Corey Perry</a> to make it 4-1 </p>

<p>As of the five-minute mark of the second period in Game 5, McDavid has scored nine points in his last six periods, dating back to the third period in Game 3. </p>



<p>The 2023-24 season was already a historic one for the Oilers’ captain, who became just the fourth player in NHL history to record 100 assists in a single season. It was the fourth time he led the league in assists. He finished the regular season with 32 goals and 132 total points, the second-highest mark of his career.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="161"></div>
