PENTICTON -- It was supposed to be Connor McDavid¹s night. Apparently Jake Virtanen thought otherwise.
Virtanen's big hit on McDavid on the side boards early in the first period got Friday night's Young Stars Classic contest between the Canucks and Oilers off to a rousing start. Virtanen seemed to be hitting everything in sight in the first period and for a while many of the
Oilers were trying to hit the Canuck winger.
The game lost some of its luster when the Oilers built a 4-0 lead late in the second. They went on to win 8-2.
