After Canada’s heartbreaking overtime loss to the U.S. in the Olympic gold-medal game, McDavid was named tournament MVP. <\/p>\n
McDavid led the tournament in scoring with two goals and 11 assists. His 13 points set the record for most points of any player in a single Olympic tournament with NHL participation. He was also picked as the tournament’s best forward. <\/p>\n
It’s another trophy for McDavid that comes at the end of a gut-wrenching loss, similar to when he won the Conn Smythe trophy two seasons ago after losing to the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. <\/p>\n
The Edmonton Oilers captain was also named to the tournament all-star team, along with Canadian teammates Cale Makar and Macklin Celebrini.<\/p>\n
Celebrini, just 19 years old, led the tournament with five goals, while Makar scored Canada’s lone goal in the gold-medal game.<\/p>\n
Team USA’s Connor Hellebuyck was the goaltender to make the all-star team after a sensational gold-medal game that saw him make 41 saves. The Winnipeg Jets’ star was also named best goaltender in the tournament. <\/p>\n
American defenceman Quinn Hughes was picked as the tournament’s best defender and also made the all-star team. <\/p>\n
Slovakian and Montreal Canadiens forward Juraj Slafkovsky was the lone player not from Canada or the U.S. to make the tournament all-star team. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After Canada’s heartbreaking overtime loss to the U.S. in the Olympic gold-medal game, McDavid was named tournament MVP.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492599,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-492598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492598"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492598\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
