The star of the Edmonton Oilers got 150 points in the victory against San Jose Sharks on Saturday when he scored and assisted. Connor McDavid is the 1st in 27 years to have such a record in a season in NHL.

It all started with an assist for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in the 1st period, which was his 87th pass this season, and later in the period notched his 63rd goal to hit the landmark.
The last time an NHL player finished with at least 150 points was in 95-96 when Mario Lemieux had 161 points at the end of the season.
Only 5 more players had such an achievement – Wayne Gretzky (9 times), Lemieux (4 times), Phil Esposito, Steve Yzerman, and Bernie Nichols.
