It took a a bit longer than many hoped, but Connor McDavid has nearly played a full season in the NHL.

The Edmonton Oilers captain was held pointless in Wednesday's win in Arizona, but 80 games into his career, McDavid has recorded 88 points, something only the NHL's biggest names can relate to.

Over the last 20 years, only three players have matched McDavid's output through their first 80 contests: Alexander Ovechkin (105), Sidney Crosby (100), and Evgeni Malkin (88), according to Sportscenter.

That's some pretty good company.

McDavid, 19, currently leads the NHL in scoring with 40 points (12 goals, 28 assists) through 35 games.
