Never expect Connor McDavid to ask for a day off.
Coming off the 4 Nations Face-Off, the Edmonton Oilers captain was right back on the ice for a Saturday matinee against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Head coach Kris Knoblauch confirmed that taking a break was not in the cards for McDavid.
"Sometimes you worry about the player not having a break, all these other players had a break," Knoblauch told reporters. "But with Connor, I don't think I could force him, I don't think I could keep him away from the rink."
McDavid scored the game-winning goal for Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off finishing the tournament with three goals and two assists.
Edmonton leads the Pacific Division and will open a five-game road trip in Philadelphia. Watch the game on Sportsnet at 1 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. MT.
