And frankly, it’s embarrassing — to McDavid and the Oilers and the rest of the NHL. Even with McDavid scoring 41 goals and leading the league in points, Edmonton missed the playoffs.

Pettersson has five goals and eight points in five games, while Tkachuk has three goals and six points in four games.
