Connor McDavid scores another spectacular goal
Edmonton Oilers star center Connor McDavid continues to be red hot and is scoring special goals while doing it.
Monday night, he made a shot from an improbable angle look easy as part of a four-goal night against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Wednesday night, he had the disadvantage of being knocked over by a teammate before he started a scoring play against the Los Angeles Kings.
But he got up, received a pass at center ice, looked over his shoulder, used a change-of-pace move to get good outside position on Norris Trophy-caliber defenseman Drew Doughty, then ripped a shot past Kings goalie Darcy Kuemper to tie the game 2-2.
It was his 22nd goal of the season and his seventh goal in his last three games.
Doughty did make a solid sliding block of a McDavid centering pass in the third period, and the Kings went on to win 5-2.
