That plus Z got burned trying to hit McDavid, who is strong on his skates (unless he doesn't want to be).
Flames have to play a layered D against him. It's not on any one player, Initial D needs to force him outside, and other players need to back him up in case he beats that coverage and turns the corner or tries to pass across.
