Oilers head coach praises Connor Mcdavid
While it may not seem like a big deal to him, a 15 game point streak is a major accomplishment for anyone, much less for McDavid. And Woodcroft has certainly noticed.
"Those numbers don't happen every day," Woodcroft said. "He's driving us forward, sure, with his offence, but he's also driving it with his attention to detail on the defensive side of things, and when your captain does that, and when the leading scorer in the National Hockey League commits to playing like that, I think it resonates with the rest of the group and becomes a contagious-type attitude."
And while things still remain close in the standings, the Oilers simply have to focus on the things that they can control - their own destiny.
"It's not on what other teams in the Western Conference did," Woodcroft said. "It's on the day's business, and I'm confident that if we put the necessary work in and we have the right focus that results in home-ice advantage, all that kind of stuff takes care of itself."
