As the best player in the NHL, the pressure is always on Connor McDavid to perform, and when addressing the pressure, he gave a heart wrenching answer.

That pressure is on every single player on the team, but given his status as captain and the games best player, the pressure continues to mount on him as another Stanley Cup Finals heartbreak potentially looms large.
