I Watched This Game: McDavid vs Pettersson was secretly the Boeser and Horvat show
With Pettersson’s incredible start to his rookie season, it was hard to avoid comparing him to other NHL greats. When you get compared to Wayne Gretzky after your first NHL game, every other comparison becomes fair game. Since then, Pettersson has been compared to Pavel Datsyuk, Alex Ovechkin, and Sidney Crosby, as well as great rookie seasons from Canucks history and across the NHL. It was inevitable that he would also be compared to the reigning Art Ross winner and arguably the best player on the planet, Connor McDavid.

Flyers get their first look at the Elias Pettersson show in Vancouver
Look to rebound after a lifeless 4-1 loss in Edmonton last night that saw Connor McDavid put on a show. The Flyers look to end their five-game road trip on a high note with a win in Vancouver against the Canucks this evening. With last night’s 4-1 loss in Edmonton, the Flyers are 1-2-1 on the trip so far, with the lone win being a 6-2 showing in Buffalo that looks like a mirage given how they’ve looked in the other games so far. Vancouver finds themselves outside of the playoff picture as well, but winners of three of their last five with impressive showings against the Blue Jackets...

4-point milestone night for Mikko Rantanen spoiled in 6-4 Avalanche loss to Oilers
The 22-year-old showed some major leadership in a tough night for Nathan MacKinnon. Tonight's game was marketed as Nathan MacKinnon vs. Connor McDavid.

Rantanen put on a play-making show for the home crowd with a four-point (two goals, two primary assists) night in the Colorado Avalanche’s ultimate 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers.
