With it being his first game in his hometown of Toronto, it was McDavid’s spotlight with Matthews co-starring. Former NHL greats like Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey came to see the young star take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
From afar it appeared as though McDavid would take advantage of this match up with Kadri, who was assigned the difficult task of containing him and try to prevent him from lighting up the Maple Leafs, again.
However, that’s why they play the game and Kadri was more than up to the task to stopping the leading scorer in the NHL.
