McDavid led the NHL with 13 goals and 28 points in 16 games (13-15-28) to move into first place in the Art Ross Trophy race and propel the Oilers (34-39-6, 74 points) to a 7-7-2 March. He registered at least one point in 13 of his 16 appearances, highlighted by five three-point performances as well as his fourth career four-point effort (March 22 at OTT: 2-2-4). McDavid also scored in 10 of his 16 outings, including a career-high five-game streak March 22-29 (7-6-13), and potted a pair of winning goals (March 10 vs. MIN and March 24 vs. LAK). The 21-year-old Richmond Hill, Ont., native and reigning Art Ross Trophy winner overtook Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov - who had held the outright lead since Dec. 12 - in the NHL scoring race March 24. He then eclipsed the 100-point milestone March 27, becoming the seventh player in League history to record multiple 100-point campaigns prior to his 22nd birthday. With 41-62-103 in 79 total contests this season, McDavid is aiming to become the first repeat Art Ross Trophy winner since Jaromir Jagr won four straight from 1997-98 through 2000-01.
