Signs point to major change coming for Connor McDavid in last games of Cup Final

McDavid has still gotten on the board with the powerplay, is driving play at 5 on 5, and has been an incredible leader for the team this postseason. All signs point that he's due for an explosion.

McDavid hasn't beeb producing at even strength yet in this series, but he's been buzzing the entire time.

He registered 4 shots last night to bring his series total to 17 shots on goal. For an above average shooter at 13.3% this year, McDavid is so due.

Heading into Game 4, McDavid's line had been owning the Panthers in shot share, yet had been outscored 4-2. That's an unsustainable discrepancy, and isn't going to continue for the rest of the series.

In Game 5, McDavid got a few more glorious chances at the net, but still nothing has crossed the line.

There could be some props to give to the Panthers for shutting McDavid down, but again, given how much he's out-chanced his opponents - it's not bound to last.

Now with the series heading back to Edmonton, McDavid and the Oilers will have another prime chance to bring their best game in this series.

If Connor McDavid can break through and finally start getting some shots to fall, it could be in a critical moment to help deliver the Stanley Cup to Edmonton. It's great the Oilers have got this far with the Captain being overdue for some goals, and now they'll be looking to him in the final games of this series.
