It may not have been the records he was primarily aiming for, but in last night's 4–1 win, Connor McDavid eclipsed a legendary name.
It took just 50 seconds for McDavid to break Mark Messier's club record for the most goals in the first minute. Edmonton's star put on a fine solo performance, scoring his eighth goal in the opening minute of a game.
Halfway through the second period, McDavid was at it again, assisting on Evan Bouchard's goal to make it 3–0. He thus became the fastest player to reach 30 assists in a season, doing so in 15 games - one game faster than Wayne Gretzky in 1984.
Edmonton has made a convincing start to the season and leads the Western Conference standings. The Rangers, on the other hand, have struggled. Last night's loss was their fourth straight.
