The regular season has ended in the NHL. Canadian Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid was the top scorer, sniper and assistant of the season.
On account of McDavid 153 (64 + 89) points in 82 matches. The award for the best sniper, “Maurice Richard Trophy”, he received for the first time in his career. The record holder for this indicator is the captain of the Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin (9).
The Art Ross Trophy, which is given to the top scorer of the regular season, is the fifth time McDavid has won at 26 in his career. The record here belongs to Wayne Gretzky (10).
McDavid repeats Ovechkin’s unique goal-scoring record in the NHL
In addition, McDavid became the third player in NHL history to top all three scoring metrics in the same season. Previously, Howie Morenz (1927/28, Montreal), Gordie Howe (1952/52, Detroit), Phil Esposito (1972/73, Boston) and Gretzky (1981/82, 1982/83, 1983/ 84, 1984/85, 1986/87, Edmonton).
