Zadorov was actually #1 on the Flames in TOI last night with 23 minutes, Gudbranson played ~20 minutes. So they're effectively our second pairing at the moment. Sutter may be overplaying them against the faster Oilers roster.
It looked like Sutter was matching Hanifin up against McDavid, which makes sense since only him and Kylington have any real chance of keeping up with him speed wise.
