The Oilers are hoping to play more of an offensive game against the Maple Leafs, the sixth-highest scoring team in the NHL with 66 goals this season. Edmonton and the Montreal Canadiens are tied for fourth, with 67 goals. The Oilers were held to three goals in back-to-back losses against the Arizona Coyotes last Friday and Sunday. "I don't know if that's the game [the Maple Leafs are] going to want to play," said McDavid, who leads the NHL in scoring with 29 points (10 goals, 19 assists), including 10 points (five goals, five assists) in a five-game point-scoring streak. "I don't think they're going to want to play that open kind of style, but Arizona definitely was defensive and they did a good job shutting everything down. [The Maple Leafs] play a tough game, they made a pretty good emphasis of not letting me come through the middle with any speed or really touch the puck at all. It's nothing I haven't seen before and something I'll have to figure out pretty quick here." McDavid is expected to see a lot of Kadri on Tuesday. "Sometimes it's easier to get the matchup you want on the road," Oilers coach Todd McLellan said. "If Nazem is going to check against Connor, as soon as Connor comes out, or he's not out, they change him and just match."
