For all fans heading to watch a cheap game at Rogers Place tonight, being treated to the two best players in the world on the ice is fantastic - even for preseason game.
Connor McDavid will be personally looking to lead his team to a better start to this season, and that will begin now in training camp. The Captain revealed he spoke to several teammates this offseason about the importance of a strong start. Not only that, but McDavid wants to dominate the scoresheet himself and pot 60 goals again this year.
