Connor McDavid Delivers Pass of the Year in Oilers’ Victory

UPDATE: In a stunning display of skill, Connor McDavid has just made what many are calling the pass of the year during the Edmonton Oilers impressive 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues on January 19, 2026. The Oilers capped off an incredible weekend with two shutout wins, showcasing their dominance in the NHL.

Earlier in the match, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins celebrated his 1,000th game with the Oilers by scoring the opening goal, becoming only the second player in franchise history to reach this milestone. Fans erupted as Nugent-Hopkins, dubbed “Mr. 1,000,” led the charge against the Blues.

In a moment that has hockey fans buzzing, McDavid’s jaw-dropping pass set up Nugent-Hopkins’ goal, highlighting the star player’s otherworldly talent. The NHL shared the highlight, stating, “MCDAVID IS NOT FROM THIS PLANET.”

However, the match wasn’t without concern. In the third period, McDavid collided with Oskar Sundqvist, resulting in Sundqvist being rushed off the ice with a leg injury. Fans are hoping for a quick recovery for the player.

Meanwhile, the Tampa Bay Lightning continued their incredible streak, defeating the Dallas Stars 4-1 and extending their point streak to an impressive 13 games. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy secured his 20th win of the season, marking his tenth consecutive season with at least 20 wins, a feat achieved by only five other goaltenders in NHL history.

In contrast, the Ottawa Senators faced heartbreak over the weekend, losing both games in overtime, including a hard-fought 4-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Former Senator Alex DeBrincat sealed the victory for Detroit, while Ottawa’s Tim Stutzle and James Van Riemsdyk showcased their scoring prowess, keeping the games thrilling until the final whistle.
