PHOTOS: Connor McDavid’s first home game in Edmonton

He has three NHL games already to his credit, and he’s scored his first career goal, but the Edmonton Oilers’ 2015-16 home opener represents a historic night for the Connor McDavid, the team, and the city.

Sportsnet is on the scene, capturing the sights and sounds of McDavid’s debut in Edmonton. It’s the final home opener to be played at Rexall Place, with the Oilers’ new arena, Rogers Place, set to open for the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

Here’s a look at what’s happening at Rexall Place as McDavid prepares to take to the ice for his first regular season game at home. This page will be updated with more photos all game long.

The legends hang proudly in their final season at Rexall place. #edmontonoilers #oilcountry

Short lived jubilation as the #oilers took an early 1-0 lead on a goal by #korpikoski. Only to have the #stlouisblues tie it up 2 min later. #homegametakeover
