Whicker: Ducks survive a Goliath named McDavid and beat Edmonton Oilers

ANAHEIM — The NHL’s speeding bullet got one assist in his 21:06 of ice time Friday night. No goals.
That qualifies as a mere flesh wound from Edmonton’s Connor McDavid, and the Ducks survived it in a 3-2 victory at Honda Center.
They held down the 21-year-old and also dodged Leon Draisaitl, who sometimes plays on McDavid’s line and almost always toys with the Ducks. This time Draisaitl didn’t score a point.
Of course, the Oilers have taken a U-turn on destiny road.
