With the five-point performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Edmonton Oilers captain eclipsed the 20-goal and 60-point plateaus, earning him a combined $425,000 in performance bonuses, according to Cap Friendly.
McDavid has now hit all four category "A" bonuses (35 assists, 20 goals, 60 points, and being named to the All-Star Game) for a total of $850,000.
The performance bonuses will look like peanuts next year, when the 21-year-old will earn $15 million in his first year of an eight-year, $100-million contract.
