VIDEO: McDavid whistled for embellishment

Connor McDavid is already one of the NHL's brightest stars, but he's not the league's best actor.

The Edmonton Oilers forward was caught embellishing late in the third period on an offensive zone entry against Curtis Lazar and the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night.

Lazar was also penalized for hooking on the play, but it was a frustrating night for the Oilers, who lost 4-1 - dropping their fifth straight game and suffering their eighth defeat in the last nine contests.

It doesn't get any easier for Edmonton, either, as the Oilers embark on a back-to-back western road swing against the Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks on Thursday and Friday.
