He's not playing with McDavid. 5v5 he's been playing on the second line with Jurco & RNH. In 3 games he has 2 goals, 0 assists and is a 0 +/- 5v5. That's the full story...

Right, but four of Neal's six goals have come on the powerplay. All four have been assisted by McDavid, with Draisatl chipping an assist in on one of them. One of his ES goals was unassisted; only one of his line mates has set him up for a goal thus far.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Neal's powerplay production outstrip his ES production. That Oilers second line is going to be a disaster.
