Episode Details

The Edmonton Oilers head into a crucial Game 3 in Southern California with the series tied 1-1. The biggest shock of the postseason so far? Connor McDavid has zero points through two games. With a looming lower-body injury and a power play that is "taking on water," can the Oilers reclaim control of this series?.

Host Nick Zararis dives into why the Anaheim Ducks have successfully corralled the best player in the world. We break down the "nuts and bolts" of McDavid's performance, the impact of his ankle injury, and why the Oilers might need to embrace a "hard hat" dump-and-chase style to wear down Ducks defender Jackson LaCombe
