EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid has achieved something only three other people in the NHL have ever done.
Wayne Gretzky did it 11 times, while Bobby Orr and Mario Lemieux each got there once.
McDavid hit the milestone with 4:25 left in the second period against the Sharks. The captain outwaited a sprawling Sharks defender before softly passing the puck to forward Zach Hyman, who buried his 54th goal of the season to make it 9-1 for Edmonton.
McDavid scored his 32nd goal of the season 53 seconds into the first period.
