"McDavid and Draisaitl need to learn to shoot again": Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl face Oilers fans' ire after 4-2 loss to CBJ

Connor McDavid extended his point and assist streaks to 13 games, securing his 100th point of the season, despite the Edmonton Oilers falling 4-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Thursday.

McDavid has amassed 29 points across this 13-game streak, comprising two goals and 27 assists. Notably, with 23 goals and 77 assists, McDavid became the third player in NHL history to achieve at least seven 100-point seasons before turning 28, joining Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.

However, despite Connor McDavid's stellar performance, fans directed their frustration towards him and Leon Draisaitl. Draisaitl, who scored crucial goals in the Oilers' recent victory against the Boston Bruins, failed to deliver in the loss against the Blue Jackets.

Despite scoring two goals in the previous game and having an assist in this game, Draisaitl's performance fell short of expectations. Fans expressed disappointment over his inability to replicate his previous success and also on Connor McDavid not being able to secure a victory for the team. Here's what they posted on X(formerly Twitter):
