Edmonton Oilers head coach Todd McLellan had a response Wednesday for Anaheim Ducks' head coach Randy Carlyle and his 'white gloves' comment about Connor McDavid.

"I heard that and I thought we were the team that was supposed to be whining," McLellan said Wednesday.

A day earlier Carlyle claimed McDavid was getting preferential treatment from the referees, saying,“It seems like there is somewhat of a white-glove treatment for Mr. McDavid. The restrictions on anybody touching him seem to be a little bit higher than normal. It’s fact. Simple. We review the tape numerous times."

McDavid, who has three goals and three assists in nine postseason games this year, has drawn a penalty in each of the first three games of the Oilers' series with the Ducks. He drew a league-high 38 penalties during the regular season.

The Oilers lead the second round series 2-1.
