Like most nights Connor McDavid plays, the evening opened with the spotlight on him.
Rightly so.
With 15 points in his previous five games, No. 97 represented the latest in a series of obstacles between the Calgary Flames and a playoff spot.
However, by night’s end it was the man chiefly responsible for trying to stop McDavid’s string of four-straight three-point efforts who stole centre stage.
Not only did Elias Lindholm play a big part in keeping McDavid off the scoreboard Thursday, but the Flames top centreman also had two goals in a crucial 3-1 win over Edmonton that moved Calgary within four points of fourth-place Montreal.
