Connor McDavid hits 100 points, wins 1st Art Ross Trophy
Century man.
Connor McDavid is your 2016-17 Art Ross Trophy winner. It's undoubtedly the first of many for the 20-year-old.
The Edmonton Oilers captain wrapped up his eventual Hart Trophy-winning season Sunday with two assists (his 30th multi-point game), and finished his second campaign in the league with 30 goals, a league-high 70 assists, and 100 points.
The helpers extended No. 97's point streak to 14 games, the longest by an Oiler since 1987-88, when a couple of guys named Mark Messier (14 games) and Wayne Gretzky (15 games) went on impressive runs.

McDavid finishes with 11 more points than Sidney Crosby - who didn't play in the Pittsburgh Penguins' season finale - and Patrick Kane. Both finished with 89 points.
The 2015 first overall pick is the Oilers. He, of course, led his club in every significant offensive category, and also finishes atop the NHL's points-per-game leaderboard, his 1.22 points per game besting Crosby's 1.19.
McDavid also led the league in even-strength points (71) and even-strength assists (45). Look - he had a mighty fine season. And the kid's only getting started.
