McDavid dazzles in NHL barn

Connor McDavid posted a goal and three assists Wednesday as the Erie Otters skated to an 8-4 victory over the Niagara IceDogs at First Niagara Center in Buffalo. For those unable to attend, the highlights can be viewed below.


The 2015 draft has much intrigue with McDavid and American forward Jack Eichel jousting for position as the top eligible prospect. Eichel, of course, was named the MVP of the All-American Prospects Game at the very same arena nearly a month ago to the day.

While McDavid left a lasting impression with Buffalo fans on Wednesday, it seems proper to wait until this winter's World Junior Championship to truly gauge who is atop the draft board. USA and Canada play Wednesday, Dec. 31. It should be a fun one.
