Very few teams, if any, have found an answer to stopping the otherworldly Connor McDavid.
On most nights, limiting the damage done by McDavid is a remarkable accomplishment in and of itself. The league-leading Boston Bruins discovered that firsthand during their trip to Edmonton last week.
McDavid’s speed got the better of the Bruins en route to another two-goal outing. Between his skating and crafty playmaking, Boston’s top-ranked defensive unit didn’t fare too poorly, especially in shorthanded situations.
The Bruins’ depth scoring shined in that 3-2 win last Monday, with Tomas Nosek, Nick Foligno and Pavel Zacha lighting the lamp.
