The meeting at Sunrise ended with a victory for the guests with a score of 5:3, McDavid scored 4 points (2 goals and 2 assists).

— I don’t want to talk disrespectfully about our opponents in the previous three rounds of the playoffs, because we are talking about Kucherov and [форварде «Бостона» Давиде] Pastrnak. Brilliant players.

You talked about big guns. It is a slightly larger caliber, larger than a magnum. It’s a different caliber. So the idea is to close it [Макдэвида] unrealistic,” Sportsnet.ca quotes Maurice as saying.

In total, in 23 games of the current playoffs, McDavid has recorded 42 points (8+34). The Canadian forward became third in the regular season scoring rankings (132 points), behind Kucherov (144) and Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon (140).
