They say second place is the first loser.
Connor McDavid briefly had Buffalo feeling that way, as the Edmonton Oilers rookie phenom - drafted first overall ahead of Jack Eichel - needed only 22 seconds to open the scoring against the Sabres on Tuesday.
The goal was McDavid's 11th in 28 games, while Eichel came into the night sitting at 17 through 63 contests.
