Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid continued a remarkable goal-scoring stretch Wednesday, tallying twice against the Toronto Maple Leafs to increase his multi-score streak to five games.
McDavid is only the fifth player in NHL history to have five straight games with two or more goals, per ESPN Stats and Info. He joins Alexander Mogilny and Hall of Famers Mario Lemieux, Joe Malone and Punch Broadbent as the only players to accomplish the feat.
If McDavid can bury two or more goals Friday against the Winnipeg Jets, he’ll equal Broadbent and Malone for the longest multi-goal streak in NHL history.
McDavid wasted little time grabbing his pair of goals on Wednesday night, netting both in the opening period.
Only 3:49 into the first, McDavid scored the first goal of the game, banging home a rebound on the power play.
