McDavid Back, Lines Stabilizing | Edmonton Oilers News

Connor McDavid is back, energized and ready to roll with the Oilers, missing the game and teammates so much it’s fueling a fresh spark in the locker room. The buzz around his return is amplified by the surprise signing of Alex Formenton, whose comeback after legal issues has fans talking. On the ice, McDavid and Draisaitl are skating together again — hinting at more consistent line pairings this season, something McDavid believes could build crucial chemistry. He’s frustrated by last year’s constant shuffling, which he says mentally drained players — stability, he argues, leads to better performance. And while new coach Mike Babcock is currently elk hunting, McDavid and the core squad are already rallying behind him, confident his intensity will match the Oilers’ hunger for wins.
