Connor McDavid First NHL Player To Reach 140-Points Since 1996 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Mar 28, 2023 6:09 am

 Connor McDavid picked up an assist for his 140th point of the season Monday night, in the Edmonton Oilers\' 5-4 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.

McDavid, the All-Star center who is running away in the race for the Hart Trophy as league MVP, became the first player to reach the mark since Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr both achieved it in 1995-96 for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The last Oilers player to do it was Wayne Gretzky in 1987-88. He also became just the seventh player in NHL history with 60 goals and 80 assists in a season.
