Edmonton Oilers rookie Connor McDavid extended his point streak to seven games - matching his career-best run set in October - by scoring his first goal since March 10. It came while poke-checking the puck off Vincent Lecavalier's stick and in against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.

He later added an assist with a perfect no-look pass to Patrick Maroon, increasing his season total to 45 points, and passing Dylan Larkin for fourth in rookie scoring despite playing over 30 games less than any others in the top five.
