Connor McDavid is doing Connor McDavid-like things Thursday in Edmonton against the San Jose Sharks.
The speed, the dekes, the finish, it's all really just unfair.
The goal was McDavid's 28th of the season, the first short-handed marker of his young career, and paired with an assist, he's now up to 91 points on the season.
McDavid currently has 91 points, the highest single-season total for an Oiler since Doug Weight's 104 in 1995-96.

McDavid's also the first player 20 or younger to hit 90 points in a season since Steven Stamkos did it in 2009-10, according to TSN's StatsCentre.
The Oilers beat the Sharks 3-2, moving to within a point of Pacific Division-leading Anaheim.
