The right play is to go and cut it off as he tried to do. But it was a hard enough rim it got past him. And then you have to ask why McDavid beat everyone to a puck.

He needs to do one of two things - either get to the puck in time, or recognize that he can't get to the puck in time and stay in the net. He did neither, and couldn't recover in time to get in position to make the save. It was a misplay. But it was one misplay in an otherwise solid game. I'm not worried about Markstrom.
As for McDavid getting to the puck, he's one of the fastest skaters in the league is he not?
