Connor McDavid joins the club of ‘700 assists before 700 NHL games’ with Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux
Whoever thought it was only Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals to reach Wayne Gretzky’s record was wrong! It is also NHL MVP Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers! Of course, the criteria differ, but The Great One is common! So, Alex Ovechkin, is only 11 career NHL goals away from reaching The Great One, Wayne Gretzky’s 894 career NHL goals. And, 28-year-old ice hockey center and captain for the Edmonton Oilers, Connor McDavid, is one of the three NHL players to have 700 assists before completing 700 career NHL games! The other two makers of history are Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
“Connor doing Connor things,” captioned Edmonton Oilers on their official X account
Picture this: Assisted by Leon Draisaitl, who played with the puck passed on by Connor McDavid at first. Draisaitl played till McDavid reached a level from where he could pass it on to him. McDavid carried the puck to the Carolina Hurricanes net, right up to the feet of the goaltender. And guess what happened next?
The goaltender of Carolina Hurricanes fell to the ground trying to defend the NHL MVP Connor McDavid! But ‘Connor was doing Connor things’ – scoring a goal! Getting the puck into the opponent’s net! By hook or by crook. Worth watching this young, multifaceted NHL player! He’s a feast for the eyes of those who yearn for ice hockey goals.
