Play McDavid tough, force him to drag Kassian around instead of having him play with someone skilful.

yeah per money puck at least the Oilers top 4 lines in order last night were
Kane Draisaitl McDavid
McDavid Draisaitl Kassian
Hyman RNH Yamamoto
Hyman RNH Pujularvi
that's quite something- mind you all of those combos were relatively short lived , playing between 2:42-4:00 as a combo. the 2 RNH versions fared ok
the Flames meanwhile just had the usual 4 lines, ranging from 6:40-12:25. the Backlund line. man what can you say
