Connor McDavid, the captain of the Edmonton Oilers, expressed his excitement about Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visiting the team's morning skate. McDavid said it was nice to have Carney there, noting that he is a lifelong Oilers fan. Reporters asked McDavid about Carney's hockey skills and joked about convincing him to play goalie. McDavid responded that he wasn't sure Carney's security detail would approve of that idea, but he enjoyed meeting the Prime Minister. As the Oilers prepare for a playoff run, Carney may visit the team's clubhouse more often. In other news, McDavid reached a significant milestone in the NHL. He scored a goal and two assists in a game against the Utah Hockey Club, making him the only player to have a three-point game against all 32 NHL teams.
