He had three points (one goal, two assists) in a 4-2 win in Game 6 and then figured in the only scoring in Game 7 before goalie Mike Smith preserved his second shutout of the series with 29 saves."He was a determined player, and you could see on his face that he wanted it more than anybody else on the ice and everybody else jumped on his back and followed his lead," Smith said. To raise his play after what he's done in [the] regular season, to see what he's done in the playoffs … it's easy to jump on board with a captain and leader like that."McDavid won his fourth Art Ross Trophy as NHL scoring champion during the regular season with an NHL career-best 123 points (44 goals, 79 assists) in 80 games.
