It’s our job to work our way out of it, and I would expect that tomorrow,” added the Canadian hockey icon. Unfortunately, they made things a little too tough.

The Florida Panthers dominated Game 6 from start to finish, preventing the Oilers from even stringing passes together, as Sam Reinhart snuffed out their chances with not one, not two, not even a hat-trick, but four goals. However, Connor McDavid may have thought sticking to a superstition might bring them some luck ahead of the game, and he pulled out something from the 4 Nations Face-Off.

“Connor wearing the same outfit today as he did at the Four Nations finals, it could mean nothing, or it could mean something,” posted X-user @shan_savvy. She wrote it while sharing the official Oilers post, showing Connor McDavid wearing the same suit and tie he wore ahead of the 4 Nations Finals. Unfortunately, this time, McDavid didn’t get the chance to show his overtime heroics and score the winning goal, as the Panthers demolished the Oilers in regulation.
