Watch: McDavid scores OT winner on breakaway in dying seconds

YouTube/Sportsnet

Connor McDavid has a flair for the dramatic.

The Edmonton Oilers star cruised in on a breakway and shoveled in a backhander to defeat the Florida Panthers with about three seconds remaining in overtime Wednesday night.

Panthers goaltender James Reimer caught the puck in his glove, but upon review, the officials upheld the goal call because it clearly crossed the line while in the netminder's trapper.

McDavid earned his 100th career point earlier in the game with an assist, becoming the fourth-fastest active player to hit triple digits.

He leads the NHL in points (51), although he's played eight more games than Sidney Crosby and two more than Evgeni Malkin, each of whom have 50 points so far.
