It was an impressive performance from the Ducks, who resembled a Cup contender — the same team that didn't show up during the five-game road swing.The puck movement was crisp, the passes timely and they were able to (mostly) contain McDavid, who dazzled and dangled but saw his scoring streak die.
"You just gotta respect him, try to keep him outside and you don't want to let that guy pick up speed."
It was Lindholm who opened the scoring 2:28 into the first, as he impressed on both sides of the ice.
Over and over, the Ducks were able to consistently keep the puck alive in the zone, which seemed to tire out the quicker, younger Oilers squad.
