NHL's top players Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid, two of the league's brightest stars, have recently been seen training together in an unexpected location, stirring excitement and curiosity among fans.

A new set of photos that emerged tonight revealed that Matthews and McDavid, who entered the NHL in back-to-back drafts, are training together for the first time ever.
Despite their fierce rivalry and frequent comparisons, both players have struggled in recent years to achieve postseason success. Connor McDavid, however, gained an edge in the 2023-24 season when his Edmonton Oilers made a deep Stanley Cup Finals run.
The two superstars were spotted on the ice in the SAP Garden arena in Munich, Germany, alongside Christopher Kolarz, a player for Red Bull in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL). The photo, shared via Kolarz's Instagram, shows Matthews and McDavid working on passing and skating drills, both in the locker room and on the ice together.

This unexpected training session leaves fans pondering the absence of another key figure-McDavid's German teammate and fellow superstar, Leon Draisaitl. Given McDavid's presence in Germany, it would seem natural for Draisaitl to join him, yet the photos tell a different story, raising questions about the dynamics between these top players.
As the NHL season rapidly approaches, both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers are firmly within their Stanley Cup windows. For Leafs fans, Matthews training with a talent like McDavid can only be seen as a positive sign, potentially elevating his game to new heights as he prepares to lead Toronto in their quest for the Cup.
The upcoming season promises to be thrilling as these two generational talents continue to push each other, not only on the scoresheet but also in the standings, setting the stage for an epic competition.
