Nazem Kadri was apparently sick and tired of hearing about Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews.

On the night Toronto Maple Leafs super rookie Matthews and Edmonton Oilers phenom McDavid played each other for the first time, Kadri stole the show. He helped keep No. 97 off the scoresheet and scored twice, including the game-winner on an impressive solo effort.

McDavid was buzzing all night, and played a game-high 22:46 among all forwards. Kadri was all over him from puck drop in the first period, employed in a shut-down role by head coach Mike Babcock.

Matthews played 19:48 and had a few high-quality scoring chances, but was turned away each time by Cam Talbot.

Frederik Andersen had his best game as a Maple Leaf, stopping 44 of 46 shots - a noteable 18 in the first period and 12 in the third - to earn the win.
