The Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid has reached hockey superstardom at a remarkably rapid rate and many NHL fans already know his explosive speed is partly what has propelled his ascension to hockey greatness.

During the Oilers’ season opener against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night, McDavid took fans’ breaths away with a lightning fast end-to-end rush up the ice that saw him easily leave two defenders trailing in his wake before scoring his second goal of the game.
