They also played almost half their time against McDavid and pretty much exclusively against Nurse. The Oilers matched up their big guns against the Flames and the Flames line walked away even with McDavid getting on the board on the PP. That's really all that should be the gameplan against the Oilers; try to stay even against the top line, don't get into a special teams contest, and let your depth win for you because the Oilers don't have it.
Getting into tit-for-tat offensive explosions against the Oilers is the way they win.
