    Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers have failed to advance in the playoffs once again. The club fell short in Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks, losing the series 4-2. The Oilers were completely out of sync in this series, and at one point, the Ducks won three consecutive games.

    Captain McDavid appeared in all six games, but he failed to live up to his reputation. In total, he managed to score one goal and five assists for a total of six points. Given how high-scoring the Oilers and Ducks games were, these figures are clearly not up to par for the 29-year-old centre.

    Connor McDavid has a total of 8 playoff appearances in his career, in which he has been a part of 13 series. Along with McDavid, the Oilers have managed to secure six wins and lost seven series. The center made his postseason debut in the 2016-17 season, when he appeared in 13 games for the Oilers and scored 5 goals and 4 assists for a total of 9 points. After that, it took Edmonton several years to return to the playoffs.

    In total, Connor McDavid has played 102 playoff games, scoring 45 goals and 111 assists for 156 points. These are some good figures, and here’s the breakdown of goals and assists over the years.

    (GP – Games played, G – Goals, A – Assists, and P – Points)

    • 2016–17: (13 GP) – 5 G, 4 A, and 9 P
    • 2019–20: (4 GP) – 5 G, 4 A, and 9 P
    • 2020–21: (4 GP) – 1 G, 3 A, and 4 P
    • 2021–22: (16 GP) – 10 G, 23 A, and 33 P
    • 2022–23: (12 GP) – 8 G, 12 A, and 20 P
    • 2023–24: (25 GP) – 8 G, 34 A, and 42 P
    • 2024–25: (22 GP) – 7 G, 26 A, and 33 P
    • 2025–26: (6 GP) – 1 G, 5 A, and 6 P

    While these are impressive figures, McDavid has truly shone when his club has advanced to the Stanley Cup finals.

    Connor McDavid was selected first overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2015 NHL Draft. He quickly became a huge face for the team, and in 2016-17, he erupted, earning the Hart Trophy MVP season. He led the Oilers to a historic playoff appearance after a decade. McDavid was appointed captain of the franchise at the age of 19 due to his outstanding leadership abilities.

    Edmonton has made two Stanley Cup finals appearances under his leadership. Both happened back-to-back, in 2024 and 2025, but the Oilers fell in the finals to the Florida Panthers, leaving them and McDavid without a trophy. The center appeared in a total of 13 games, and he was on fire in all of them.

    On the grandest stage of hockey, Connor McDavid managed to score four goals and 14 assists for a total of 18 points in 13 games. He had a combined plus/minus of -2 for the two appearances. Interestingly, the Oilers performed well in the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs, but things did not go their way in Game 7. Later in 2025, the Panthers were able to dominate and finish 4-2 to win back-to-back championships, forcing McDavid to continue the pursuit of his first cup win.
