Connor McDavid injured vs. Blue Jackets, won't return

[Czechboy]

.98 is a big difference from the 1.5 the OP said

Doesn’t he usually feast on Nashville? 43 points in 27 games I think?

It's funny because Nashville has our number forever. I remember arviddson was an Oiler killer in the decade of darkness. Then along came pissy Leon and he is a preds killer. And we have arviddson.

I do expect a loss tomorrow though... We are lost right now.

He’s below a ppg without McDavid

They’re obviously talking about the only time it’s been remotely relevant, which was nearly 5 years ago in 2019-2020, when McDavid missed 6 consecutive games in February. Draisaitl had 4 goals and 12 points in those 6 games as the Oilers went 3-2-1.

Until this upcoming stretch, McDavid has only missed 19 games total after his rookie campaign. The bulk of those games without McDavid for Draisaitl came in McDavid’s rookie year, when Drai hadn’t even played a hundred games himself yet. I think he put up something like 32-34 points in the 37 games without him, which is very respectable, considering how young he was, the era, and the lack of talent around him.

We can revisit this if Drai fails during the upcoming weeks.

Nashville seems to be even more lost right now. This seems like a good “win one for Connor” moments. Devils and Vegas should really only be the questionable upcoming games.

With McDavid out I guess this is where we find out if the off season title of ‘deepest forward group in the league’ hold true.
