Connor McDavid: what great leaders do


Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is looking for a major response from his squad after it was blown out 9-1 by the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.

"I think there's a belief in the room that we'll always figure it out," McDavid told reporters Sunday ahead of Monday's tilt with the Columbus Blue Jackets. "That being said, enough is enough here. We gotta find a way to just put a good game together."

The Oilers have dropped three games in a row and enter Monday seventh in the Pacific Division with a 6-6-4 record. Slow starts aren't uncommon in Edmonton, as the club began 6-7-1 last season and 2-9-1 the year prior but still made the Stanley Cup Final each time.
