McDavid is 95% of the Greasers' offence, so he's gonna get his chances. But as long as the Flames can limit those chances and let Rittich see the puck, they'll be fine. And if you get the chance to hit him, annoy him, or make his life miserable, please do it. Chucky, Bennett, and Hathaway, I'm lookin' at you guys.

I’ve seen the oilers in person a couple times this season. When Nugent-Hopkins is playing well they are a two line team. The fourth line is big and heavy and has a fairly effective forecheck. They tend to keep the puck in the offensive zone, and could wear down our younger d-men if the forwards don’t help.
I think this will be a good test for the Flames, but our depth should carry the day.
