Watch: McDavid records 1st career hat trick

Connor McDavid busted out of his goal-scoring funk in a big way.

McDavid recorded his first career hat trick Saturday versus the Dallas Stars, his third deposited into a wide-open net after a fortuitous bounce on a broken rush.

The Edmonton Oilers captain snapped his career-high 10-game scoreless drought in the first period when his centering pass was knocked into the net off the blade of John Klingberg. He picked up his second goal in the middle frame, shoveling home a deft tip pass from Jesse Puljujarvi at the side of the goal.

The hat-trick goal gave McDavid a provisional share of the NHL's scoring lead.
