Former New York Rangers defensemen, Michael Del Zotto, joined The Blue Crew podcast this week and talked about trying to defend a player like Connor McDavid.
The New York Rangers are set to face-off against the Edmonton Oilers this evening at Madison Square Garden.
In 12 career games against the Rangers, Connor McDavid has scored six goals and tallied 12 assists for a total of 18 points. There's no denying the fact that McDavid is currently - and has been - the best hockey player in the world.
So how do the Rangers try to defend him? What's the strategy in slowing down a world-class player like that?
Michael Del Zotto, the 13-year NHL defensemen touched on this topic on The Blue Crew.
Below are Del Zotto's comments:
McDavid had a goal and an assist last night in a 6-3 win over the New Jersey Devils.
