It was only an intrasquad scrimmage, but Edmonton Oilers rookie Connor McDavid put on quite a show nonetheless for a crowd of 7,300 fans who turned out to watch the No. 1 overall pick in June’s NHL Draft in action.
McDavid scored five of eight goals in an 8-6 victory for Edmonton’s White team over the Blue team. For a glimpse of the player Wayne Gretzky said might be the next “Great One,” check out the video below of his spectacular goal.
