Ladies and gentlemen, Connor McDavid has done it again.
Hot on the heels of his "Goal of the Year" candidate tally against the New York Rangers earlier this month, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has scored an absolute beauty tonight in Edmonton against the visiting Winnipeg Jets.
Watch McDavid as he slices through the neutral zone before making a move that seems to freeze everyone. McDavid uses the space he creates and seemingly warps right to Jets goaltender Connor Hellbuyck, whom he beats top shelf to tie the game in the latter half of the third period.

That is LIGHTNING quick!
Oh, and the Oilers would go on to beat the Jets in a shootout thanks in large part to McDavid's shootout snipe:
This kid is unreal.
Tonight's goal is an absolute beauty of course, but how does it stack up against the one he scored on Rangers netminder Igor Shesterkin after splitting up four opponents?
Check it out:
That goal was also to tie things up late, which shouldn't be surprising given how clutch McDavid has proven to be.
Personally, I think the first goal might be better just because of the dangle he puts on Shesterkin but the ability to put his head up and see the shot on Hellebuyck is impressive also. Tough call and honestly there's no wrong answer. Here's just hoping that McDavid continues to give hockey fans even more pretty goals to compare and debate about well into the future.
