Who do you suggest? Tkachuk is the same type of player as Lucic - slow, a digger and not a defensive guys. Bennett, same, only a little faster.

Including the previous game, when they shut him down.
Aside from a brutal giveaway (which Backlund, Johnny, Tkachuk and Andersson also did), I didn’t see any real problems with Lucic against McDavid. It’s normally the D that carry the main load against McDavid, at least until they gain the zone, and in the zone, Lucic is OK.
