On April 6th, 2019, Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers became the first player to reach 150 points in a single season since 1996. This is a remarkable feat, especially considering that the NHL has become increasingly competitive over the past two decades.
McDavid achieved this milestone with a goal and an assist in a game against the Calgary Flames. He is now the first player to reach 150 points since Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr did it in 1996. This accomplishment is even more impressive considering that McDavid is only 22 years old.
McDavid’s success this season is due to his incredible skill and determination. He leads the NHL in points, assists, and plus/minus rating. He also has the highest points per game average in the league at 1.45. His ability to create scoring chances for himself and his teammates has been a major factor in his success.
The Oilers have also benefited from McDavid’s performance this season. They have had their best season since 2006 and are currently in a playoff position. McDavid’s leadership and offensive production have been key factors in their success.
McDavid’s achievement is a testament to his hard work and dedication. He has become one of the best players in the NHL and is well on his way to becoming one of the greatest of all time. His 150-point season is a remarkable accomplishment and one that will be remembered for years to come.
