Whether it's because of his hands or because of his speed, it is not easy to contain Connor McDavid.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon learned that Thursday as the Edmonton Oilers phenom cruised by him en route to his 14th goal of the season and eventual game-winner.
The goal ended McDavid's two-game pointless skid. The 19-year-old still hasn't gone more than two games without a point all season.
He sits just two points behind Arizona Coyotes forward Anthony Duclair and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, who are fifth and sixth in rookie scoring, despite missing 37 games with a broken clavicle.
