BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins shut down NHL scoring leader Connor McDavid. They kept Leon Draisaitl off the scoresheet, too. It still wasn't enough to beat the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.
The Oilers escaped a scare when McDavid limped off the ice late in their 3-2 win over the Bruins - minutes after Darnell Nurse scored the tiebreaking goal with 4:49 remaining.
McDavid returned, but was held without a point for just the seventh time all season. It was the first time since New Year's Eve, when McDavid was scoreless and Draisaitl didn't play, that neither registered a point.
