The player Karlsson played the second-most minutes against? Connor McDavid, who was also held in check during his seven minutes, 46 seconds, facing Karlsson. Karlsson faced Draisaitl more than any other Oiler on Wednesday night, sharing the ice for 8:04, and managed to hold him off the scoresheet during that time.
