You will often see wingers turn away from the puck carrier in the defensive zone, and fans are always quick to criticize them for it. Sometimes the criticism is warranted, but most of the time it is because their job is to cover someone else.

True. The only thing is you have to know McDavid was where Draisaitl would pass to 99% of the time. And I don’t know who was on point, but I’d much rather he be shooting or handling the puck than McDavid (who had escaped Lindy).
