Watch: McDavid roofs backhander while harassed on breakaway
Christopher Hanewinckel / USA TODAY Sports
Connor McDavid can only be held down for so long.
With an assist from the training staff, the Edmonton Oilers captain cashed in another incentive with his 60th point on the year, scoring with an incredible backhand on a breakaway Friday with the trailing Elias Lindholm draped all over him.
McDavid's 18th on the season tied the game, and ensured the NHL points leader wouldn't suffer a three-game pointless streak through his first 100 NHL games.
