The killer instinct was absent because fans came, they saw, and got nothing at all. The highly anticipated match-up between teen titans Connor McDavid and Austin Matthews fell short of the goal-scoring fireworks some hoped would happen. McDavid is Player of the Month for November and Matthews is still talk of the town with his record-setting performance .
A lot of hype indeed, as NHL hall of fame members Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr attended the game to witness the match-up.
McDavid’s 12 points tie him for the top spot in the league, while Matthews’ six goals put him second in the race for the Maurice Richard trophy.
