Edmonton Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch thinks it has been a bit of an unfortunate final for Connor McDavid given the amount of scoring chances that just haven't gone in.

He has played at a level many hockey players would do anything to achieve. But McDavid has another level — and the Oilers need it now.

While Draisaitl has ended the Oilers’ two victories in the series with overtime goals that gave him an NHL record with four in a single tournament, McDavid has beaten Sergei Bobrovsky once and has just four even-strength points in five games, one since Game 2.
