They won’t say it in the broadcast but McDavid was part of why Gridin’s goal happened. He was too aggressive on the forecheck on the penalty kill trying to pressure Weegar to do the bump back early. That stretches the oilers defence too thin be making them sit up closer to neutral zone to keep the gap smaller. Weegar and Gridin took advantage. Weegar did not do a bump back and instead made a stretch pass.
