McDavid becomes 1st player with consecutive 100-point seasons in 8 years

Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid recorded his 100th point of the season Tuesday with a first-period assist against Blue Jackets, becoming the first player to reach the century mark in back-to-back seasons since Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in 2008-09 and 2009-10, per Hockey Reference.

Shortly thereafter, McDavid potted his 40th goal and 101st point of the season. He wasn't done there, though, as he added another first-period assist for good measure.

Etching his name deeper into the NHL record books, McDavid became the seventh player in league history to record multiple 100-point seasons before his 22nd birthday, according to NHL Public Relations. The others? Wayne Gretzky, Dale Hawerchuk, Mario Lemieux, Crosby, Jimmy Carson, and Joe Sakic. Not bad company to say the least.

McDavid continues to make a serious case for the Hart Trophy despite the fact that his team won't be heading to the postseason.
