McDavid without point again in Oilers loss to Jets in Game 2

EDMONTON-- Connor McDavid has no points, and the Edmonton Oilers have one goal losing two games against the Winnipeg Jets in the Stanley Cup First Round.

The center, who led the NHL with 105 points in the 56-game regular season, had five shots on goal playing 26:45 in a
1-0 overtime loss
in Game 2 at Rogers Place on Friday.
"I wouldn't call it concern, but obviously our desperation has to get up," McDavid said. "We've got to be hungry around the net. There are some loose pucks around there that are laying around there that are waiting to be put in the net. We've just got to send them on their way.
"There may be a little hesitation in certain spots, but I think the more we put there, the better the odds."

Game 3 of the best-of-7 series is at Winnipeg on Sunday (7:30 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVAS, SN), with Game 4 on Monday.
McDavid went two games without a point once this regular season, failing to score in three straight losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs from Feb. 27-March 3. It happened once in the final 64 games he played last season (Dec. 18 and Dec. 20 against the St. Louis Blues and Pittsburgh Penguins).
"You'd like to not have to rely on Connor and Leon [Draisaitl] all the time, but that being said, it's a tight, tight game and you just have to find a way to make that one chance count for you," Edmonton coach Dave Tippett said. "In tight games like this you need contributions throughout your lineup ... defensively. Your offensive players have to play well defensively and everybody has to be expected to chip in.
"When you're in tight, tight games like this, a 0-0 game, it doesn't matter who chips in, you just have to get one."
Draisaitl, who was second to McDavid with 84 points in 56 games, also did not have a point for a second straight game. That happened three times in the regular season: against the Montreal Canadiens Jan. 16-18; against the Toronto on Feb. 27-March 1; and against the Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames on April 8 and 10.
"I think it's been a group effort (defensively), we have to play as a group of five and our defensemen are doing a really good job," Jets captain Blake Wheeler said. "We're trying to come back and give them help and let our goalie see the puck. It's a good job by everyone back there and [Connor Hellebuyck] made some good saves tonight."

Including Games 1 and 2, the Oilers this season have lost eight of 10 games when McDavid and Draisaitl each do not have a point.
"We've dug ourselves a bit of a hole," McDavid said. "Both games could have gone either way. It's not the position we want to be in. We've been a good road team all year long (19-7-2) and had success in that building as well (4-1-0). And we've been good on back-to-backs. We have some things that we can be positive about. I thought our battle level was great."
Winnipeg won Game 1 4-1 on Wednesday, when McDavid got his first of two shots on goal 4:16 into the third period.
"Every play matters," McDavid said. "Guys are dialed into the details. I think we've been solid defensively as well. They've got three real goals, obviously two empty-netters (in Game 1), but I thought we've been good defensively as well. That's definitely not an issue. We've got to find a way to just break through."
Paul Stastny scored 4:06 into overtime Friday to give the Jets a second straight win after losing seven of nine games to the Oilers during the regular season, outscored 34-22.
Teams with a 2-0 lead are 330-51 (86.6 percent) winning a best-of-7 NHL playoff series, including 4-0 in the first round last season.
Teams with a 2-0 lead starting as the road team are 80-20 (80 percent) winning a series.
Edmonton defenseman Tyson Barrie, who led the position with 48 points (eight goals, 40 assists) this season, had an assist on the only Edmonton goal, by Jesse Puljujarvi 8:24 into the second period of Game 1.
"We'll find a way to work through it," Barrie said. "It's going to be ... if we can play in their end and get some sustained pressure, I think we'll be able to break them down. So we've just got to stick with it.
"We've got a good focus on what needs to be done. We know it's not the end of the world. We've got a hockey left. You see series all the time go the distance. So we're prepared for a long series, so we're not hanging our heads here."
