Connor McDavid joined a very exclusive club in Monday's 9-2 win against the San Jose Sharks. The Edmonton Oilers star became just the fourth player in NHL history to register 100 assists in a single season.

McDavid became the first player since Wayne Gretzky (122 assists 1990-91) to achieve the feat. Only Gretzky, Mario Lemieux (1988-89) and Bobby Orr (1970-71) have tallied 100 assists in a season in NHL history.

After scoring a goal to lead off the game, McDavid assisted on Zach Hyman's goal at the 15:35 mark of the second period.

Throughout the 2023-24 season, McDavid has tallied 62 primary assists and 38 second assists to make up his 100 total assists. The Oilers star has assisted on 35 of Hyman's goals, which is his highest total with any player on Edmonton's roster.
