TORONTO -- Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr traveled to see a hyped first matchup between Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid. They got a show from Nazem Kadri instead.Kadri got his second goal of the game in overtime, lifting the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Tuesday night.Matthews and McDavid were scoreless in the first showdown of the last two No. 1 overall picks. McDavid, from nearby Richmond Hill, Ontario, played his first NHL game in Toronto, and the game had enough hype to bring in legends Gretzky and Orr to watch.Kadri claimed he missed all the buildup.To be honest with you I dont know what people were talking about before the game, he said. I was just focused on my matchup and my assignment and just doing whatever I can to help the team win.Kadri won it on the first shift of overtime, eluding McDavids pursuit before beating Cam Talbot. The Leafs 26-year-old top line center has five goals in 10 games. He needed 27 games and almost two months (Dec. 5) to get there last season.His line also managed to hold McDavid off the scoreboard.He can embarrass you when he gets time and space so I just tried to limit that from him and just stay on top of him as much as I could, Kadri said.Hes a good player, McDavid said of Kadri. He played me hard. Good for him.Frederik Andersen had 44 saves for Toronto and Ben Smith also scored. The Leafs have won three of four games at home this season.Edmonton has dropped two in a row for the first time this season. Anton Lander and Darnell Nurse scored and Talbot stopped 28 shots.McDavids line was burned for the first goal of the game 89 seconds into the first period, with Kadri striking for an early lead.After hitting a pair of posts, the Oilers got on the board with 31 seconds left in the first. The action was driven by 25-year-old fourth line fireplug Tyler Pitlick, who stole the puck behind the Toronto goal and found Lander open in front.McDavid had his chances, rushing down the right side at one point and then flipping a backhand attempt on Andersen. McDavid had four shots on goal in nearly 23 minutes.Leafs coach Mike Babcock was surprised at how much Oilers coach Todd McLellan, his former assistant in Detroit, used McDavid. The Leafs coach thought McDavid wore down as the night wore on.I was never expecting the guy to play that much, Babcock said. Hes a good player and all that, but so is (Ryan) Nugent-Hopkins.Matthews, meanwhile, generated some opportunities after a quiet first period, including a few good looks on setups from NHL rookie of the month for October William Nylander. Matthews finished with six shots.Smith put the Leafs in front 2-1 early into the second frame. Nurse lost sight of Smith as he crashed the net.Nurse beat Anderson high glove side for a goal near the midway point of the third period that tied it 2-2.Game notes McDavid and Matthews saw the ice against one another only sparingly over two periods, though more so in the final frame. Matthews, the first overall pick one year after McDavid, described the meeting as just another game on Tuesday morning.UP NEXTOilers: Play at the New York Rangers on Thursday night.Maple Leafs: Play at the Buffalo Sabers on Thursday night.

Surrey 415 (Roy 110, Burns 88, Foakes 63*) and 266 for 7 dec (S Curran 71, Foakes 65*, Roland-Jones 3-44, Rayner 3-71) drew with Middlesex 293 (Gubbins 82, Simpson 58, S Curran 4-60) and 278 for 6 (Bailey 110*, Franklin 70, Ansari 4-63)Scorecard A little after six oclock on the final afternoon, George Bailey unfurled a sumptuous straight drive off Sam Curran. It was the final ball of the match, and a draw was already assured, but no matter: Baileys excellence was undiluted until the very end.Middlesex have been served magnificently by Australian batsmen in recent seasons, Chris Rogers and Adam Voges among them. Yet as Bailey walked off at Lords, saluted by the opposition and the MCCs members, he could reflect on an innings that any of them would have been proud to claim as their own.Bailey had not merely protected north London pride, prickled when Surrey knocked Middlesex out of the Royal London One-Day Cup on Tuesday, but also enhanced Middlesexs lead at the summit of the County Championship to 13 points, although Yorkshire, one point further back, retain a game in hand.He has enjoyed a storied career, captaining Australia in the World Twenty20, playing in the Indian Premier League and being involved in a 5-0 Ashes win. Yet this was something new: a first century at Lords, and the private bliss that followed. Id be happy with no one in the ground here. Playing here is so special, Bailey said.While Bailey is accustomed to T20 pyrotechnics, here he revealed himself to be a man with adhesive defence and an unbending will to resist Surrey, though never did he abandon his relish for marmalising any delivery that offered width. Baileys century arrived through three consecutive rasping cuts, off Stuart Meaker; 15 of his 20 fours came between backward point and extra cover.Along the way Bailey had done a little to revive the battered reputation of Australian players against spin bowling, even if he will encounter bowling and pitches more venomous when he ventures to Sri Lanka after playing in Middlesexs T20 quarter-final at Northampton on Tuesday. It was nice to face a bit of spin today - Im not sure if thats quite the same as the boys have been facing in Sri Lanka. No doubt Ill be getting a bit more of that.Bailey forged a wonderful Antipodean alliance with James Franklin, who accompanied him for 51.2 overs of steadfast defence. While the two never imagined victory possible - It was always going to be out of out of reach, Bailey said - nor did they attempt to play in a way that was unnatural to them.One significant effect was to minimise the amount of consecutive deliveries that Surreys spin twins bowled to either batsman: Ansari managed only three maidens in 29 overs, which spoke of how Bailey and Franklin never became becalmed. Franklin, who had just been dropped by Ben Foakes off Sam Curran, was finally prized out when ZZafar Ansari located the rough and got the second new ball to spin viciously into his stumps: a delivery befitting the innings of the man it dismissed.ddddddddddddIt had come too late, even if Gareth Batty was not prepared to accept as much. Even when there were wickets to get than balls to take them in, Batty refused to countenance calling the game off as a draw, perhaps unable to comprehend how Surrey had put so much into a game yet would not be rewarded by victory.Only a few hours earlier, Surrey had seemed on the brink of an emphatic win. A wicket apiece for the Curran brothers with the new ball had given Surrey a platform from which to mount an assault for victory and how Zafar Ansari seemed to do that after lunch. Trying to use his feet to negate the turn, Nick Compton was deceived by a wider, quicker ball and neatly stumped by Foakes.Then, Dawid Malan, attempting to do the same, flicked a ball onto the toes of Dominic Sibley, fielding at short leg, whereupon the rebound was snaffled by Foakes. And when John Simpson was trapped lbw, playing back, Middlesex had lost three wickets for 11 runs, and a swift ending looked probable.There were puffs of dust on the pitch. There were footmarks left by Surreys pace bowlers. There was every ounce of effort that Surrey could muster. But it wasnt enough to make this wicket deteriorate on the final day; the trueness of the wicket at the end of the game surprised both Bailey and Surreys coach Michael di Venuto. Perhaps di Venuto was left ruing all the assistance he has given Bailey, a fellow Tasmanian, over the years with his technique.Surrey hurtled everything of themselves at Bailey and Franklin. They tried their spin twins, and even used Dominic Sibley for a few overs of exploratory legspin - the first, indeed, almost claimed Nick Compton, who top-edged a pull tantalisingly out of Jason Roys reach. The pace bowlers were summoned in short bursts, and had a captain who who not shy to innovate. At one stage Sam Curran even bowled with three catchers in front of the wicket on both the offside and legside.The quicks tried again with the second new ball, and Foakes spilled Franklin off Curran. After Franklin was eventually dismissed, Batty then implored Meaker and Curran to summon even more from within themselves. They did so but Bailey, farming the strike after Franklins late dismissal, was not for moving.Middlesex will draw strength from salvaging a draw from a game in which they were outplayed for three and a half days, in Baileys reckoning. It means that they have now five games at Lords this season, and drawn the lot. One wag suggested that, even if four-day Test matches are introduced, five-day Championship games should become the norm at Lords. ' ' '
