Just because media and Oilers fans are all on the McDavid hype train and his current PPG of 1.81. So I wanted to take a look at the PPG versus each team, to see what to possibly expect next season when he faces more than the same 6 opponents.
Toronto - 1.11 PPG, 3 games w/o point
Montreal - 1.14 PPG, 3 games w/o point (2 games remaining)
Vancouver- 1.71, 2 games w/o point (4 games remaining)
Calgary - 1.88 PPG, 3 games w/o point
Ottawa - 2.33 PPG, 1 game w/o point
Winnipeg - 2.44 PPG, 0 games w/o point.
Also to note, the Geoff Ward Flames had the one extremely terrible game where McDavid dropped 5 on them. Without that game the PPG drops to 1.44 for the rest of the season.
He also has 31 powerplay points out of his 91 total, because the Oilers don't have a 2nd PP unit.
So we all know that he's an amazing offensive player, but he has absolutely benefited from playing the same 6 teams 9 to 10 times. He's eaten Ottawa and Winnipeg alive for 9 games each.
