Despite struggling for large parts of the season, missing games to injury and being robbed of games by an unfair suspension, Connor McDavid still was able to hit 90 points this year. This makes it the 9th time in a row that McDavid has hit at least 90 points. Only 2 other players ever has been able to hit 90 points at least 9 times in a row. The great one Wayne Gretzky hit at least 90 points 13 times in a row to start his career, from 1979-80 to 1991-92. And the late great Mike Bossy hit at least 90 points 9 times from 1977-78 to 1985-86. To put this into perspective, if Crosby somehow manages to hit 90 points this season it will be just his 9th time overall hitting 90 points, while playing his 20th season in the NHL.
McDavid will join Gretzky next year as the only other player to hit 90 points 10 times in a row and it's not impossible that McDavid could go for the record if we can somehow avoid the next lockout. 14 straight seasons with at least 90 points is a tall order, but if anybody can do it, it's McDavid!
