McDavid joins the ranks of NHL legends!
Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid has achieved a rare milestone in NHL history after his team defeated the New York Rangers.
According to TodayPress TV, the Canadian hockey player has recorded at least one point in each of the first 19 games of the current regular season. He has thus become only the fourth player in NHL history to begin a season with such a lengthy scoring streak.
Edmonton defeated the New York Rangers 3–1 in its latest game. McDavid opened the scoring in the seventh minute, while Leon Draisaitl contributed two goals to the victory.
It should be noted that the last player to achieve this feat was Dany Heatley during the 2005–06 season. At the time, he recorded points in 22 consecutive games between October 5 and November 29.
Legendary Wayne Gretzky achieved a scoring streak spanning the first 19 games of a season on three occasions during his career. His best run came in the 1983–84 season, when he recorded points in 51 consecutive games.
The other player to achieve this milestone was Mats Sundin, who recorded points in 30 consecutive games during the 1992–93 season.
