The trade deadline came and went without Carolina making the big splash so many wanted to see. Then the Canes went out and drowned the Oilers with their defense. Jaccob Slavin gave Connor McDavid 4 Nations Faceoff flashbacks, putting in a 25 1/2 minute masterclass of a defensive shift on the greatest player in the world. McDavid had an assist on the opening goal, but he was very much held in check. Slavin, paired with Jalen Chatfield handled him most of the time. K'Andre Miller and Sean Walker were also great against him. We'll talk about Nikolaj Ehlers and the fit with the Captains and dig into the trade deadline.
