The Connor McDavid show came to town, as the young phenom scouted the team he plans to join after his ELC expires.
First Period
The defining themes of this period were three:
- The Oilers were throwing absolutely everything at the net.
- Babcock played a super-match game putting Kadri up against McDavid, and it went well for the Leafs.
- Frederik Andersen was almost perfect.
The Leafs goal was a lot of fun; Polak pinched to get the puck to Connor Brown, who made a lovely pass to a waiting Kadri, and Kadri smoothly finished the play into the far side of the net.
