It's also because Nathan McKinnon is not 100%.
We don't know what he's dealing with.
Yeah.
No, he had a big goal and honestly did some great work on that power play goal, if you rewind it.
I mean, he won a couple of fuck battles along the wall that kept that play alive that ended up back on its feet for the winning goal.
But he's not 100%.

Klosny's injured.
It's put all kinds of pressure on Connor McDavid to carry the load.
