Connor McDavid singlehandedly saved the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

The superstar forward tied the game against the Florida Panthers just before the end of regulation, converting a Leon Draisaitl feed with eight seconds remaining in the third period.

After overtime settled nothing, McDavid took matters into his own hands once again, potting the eventual winner in the shootout by out-waiting Panthers goaltender James Reimer.

McDavid scored twice and added an assist in regulation.

His first goal of the night knotted the contest at 2-2 and came with 22 seconds left in the second period.
