For the first time this season, the Edmonton Oilers pay a visit to Ontario to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. This clash comes on the heels of Edmonton superstar captain Connor McDavid having reached the 1,000-point threshold in his career.

McDavid spoke about Chris Tanev on Toronto's blue line ahead of the matchup. Tanev, who is on a six-year, $27 million deal, will be tasked with shadowing McDavid.

McDavid knows Tanev well from their training together.

"Their back end has been great. (Tanev) helps a lot, he’s so solid. Yeah, they’re a good team. He’s the same guy each and every day. He has the same work ethic, we’ve been training for a while now.”
