Connor McDavid Claims Sixth Art Ross After 138-Point Season

His year underscored how closely Edmonton’s results tracked with his scoring.

Overview

  • McDavid, who posted four assists Thursday in a 6-1 win over Vancouver, finished with 138 points to clinch the NHL scoring title.
  • He played all 82 games and scored 48 goals, marking the second-highest point total of his career.
  • The sixth Art Ross ties him with Mario Lemieux and Gordie Howe for the second-most all time, with Wayne Gretzky holding the record at ten.
  • He recorded a point in each of Edmonton’s 41 wins, and the Oilers went 0-12-2 when he was held without a point, according to ESPN’s John Buccigross.
  • Edmonton opens the first round against the Anaheim Ducks, a shift from five straight spring series against the Kings that could alter the Oilers’ path through the West.
