What to Watch For

Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid.

I'd like to tell you to watch for something else, some hidden gem that you might have otherwise missed, but we both know that all eyes at Rexall Place will be fixed on Connor McDavid tonight. How many points will he record tonight? Which Flames defender will he make look they belong in the ECHL? These are the things that we're watching for this evening.
