Connor McDavid’s longtime girlfriend is celebrating the Oilers’ series-clenching victory in the Battle of Alberta.
Taking to her Instagram Stories following Edmonton’s 5-4 overtime win against the Calgary Flames in Game 5 on Thursday, Lauren Kyle reshared a celebratory post from the NHL’s account, adding a collection of heart emojis in Oilers colors.
McDavid, who has been dating Kyle for several years, scored the overtime goal to send the Oilers to the Western Conference Finals, bringing his postseason goal total to seven with 19 assists and 26 points.
