The Vancouver Canucks accomplished a first on Wednesday 91裸聊视频� they prevented Connor McDavid from getting a shot on net.

It was the first time in 55 career playoff games the superstar has failed to register a shot.

The milestone came in a game where the Canucks mounted a dramatic third-period comeback before securing a 5-4 win in Game 1 of the second-round Stanley Cup playoff series.

Corralling McDavid takes an entire team, said Vancouver captain Quinn Hughes.

91裸聊视频淲e just did a good job as a five-man unit and everyone knew what they91裸聊视频檙e doing and no one was off script,91裸聊视频� the defenceman said after the victory. 91裸聊视频淎nd when everyone is on the same page, it makes it easier to defend a special player like that. So we watched a lot of film and we91裸聊视频檝e just got to keep doing that.91裸聊视频�

McDavid contributed a secondary assist on Zach Hyman91裸聊视频檚 second-period goal Wednesday and has points in all six of Edmonton91裸聊视频檚 playoff games this year. He leads the league in post-season scoring with one goal and 12 assists.

Over six post-season runs, the elite centre has amassed 30 goals and 58 assists.

The Canucks know just how dangerous McDavid can be, said blue liner Nikita Zadorov.

91裸聊视频淗e91裸聊视频檚 one of the best players in the world, so you91裸聊视频檙e trying to limit his space and take away the scoring chances for him for sure,91裸聊视频� he said Wednesday.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e been talking for a few days about our defensive structure, how we want to play against those guys. That91裸聊视频檚 our game.91裸聊视频�

The Oilers are good at finding open ice where they can gather speed, and the Canucks limited that in Game 1, said defenceman Carson Soucy, who was often out against McDavid.

91裸聊视频淚 think our forwards all night just did a good job of kind of being in front of them while they91裸聊视频檙e trying to wind up their speed,91裸聊视频� he said Thursday.

91裸聊视频淎nd then in the d-zone, I think we did a good job of closing when we could, giving them their space, just kind of limit that extra breakdown.91裸聊视频�

Shutting down McDavid was a strength for Vancouver during the regular season. In three games against the Canucks, the Hart Trophy nominee was limited to one goal and two assists, and had a -4 plus-minus rating.

Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet said he doesn91裸聊视频檛 put much stock in those numbers.

91裸聊视频淭his guy91裸聊视频檚, he91裸聊视频檚 the best. He91裸聊视频檚 probably going to be the best ever,91裸聊视频� he said Thursday. 91裸聊视频淵ou gotta remember we got (the Oilers) early start the year when things weren91裸聊视频檛 great for them. And he never played the last game. 91裸聊视频� I don91裸聊视频檛 know if we have any magic against him.91裸聊视频�

One key to keeping skilled players off the scoresheet is to skate forward on defence, the coach added.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 like backwards skating and I think that helps us defend better,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e preach that all year.91裸聊视频�

Vancouver isn91裸聊视频檛 expecting the exact same tactics to work for the rest of the best-of-seven series, however, Tocchet said.

They91裸聊视频檒l have to find other ways to limit McDavid91裸聊视频檚 opportunities heading into Game 2 in Vancouver on Friday.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 one game at a time,91裸聊视频� he said after Game 1. 91裸聊视频淵ou make adjustments, both sides will make adjustments. All year, we91裸聊视频檝e been a good defending team. And I think we have something to fall back on if things don91裸聊视频檛 go our way. That91裸聊视频檚 our foundation.91裸聊视频�
