Bruce Fedyck / USA TODAY Sports

Connor McDavid has made his presence felt at the Heritage Classic.

The Edmonton Oilers captain patiently out waited the Winnipeg Jets' defense and sent a perfect pass over to Darnell Nurse, who had exited the penalty box moments earlier.

McDavid's assist was his ninth point in six games this season, and his first ever to be recorded in an outdoor game.

The goal came 1:46 after Mark Letestu had opened the scoring with a shorthanded breakaway goal.
