Markstrom is definitely the better goaltender. He just hasn't played like it at all in this series. We'll see whether the coaching starts to play a role.

I'd also love to see whether Tanev will ever come back and whether he might make a difference. He has historically played well against McDavid.

Draisaitl set a 104-year-old Stanley Cup record for most assists (four) in a single period on Sunday all while suffering from a painful high-ankle sprain!
A 26-year-old guy set a 104-year-old record? Broke one, maybe
