5 remarkable NHL records held by Connor McDavid

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is arguably the best player in the NHL and although he isn't even 30, he already holds plenty of remarkable NHL records.

During the Oilers' run to the Stanley Cup Final, McDavid has added his name to the record book even more. Let's take a look at five records that McDavid holds.

5 insane NHL records held by Connor McDavid

#5. Youngest captain in NHL history

Connor McDavid was hailed as a generational talent even before he was in the OHL as a 15-year-old. McDavid has only exceeded all expectations, so it wasn't a surprise when he was the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL draft.

However, a record that McDavid broke and still holds is being named the youngest captain in NHL history. McDavid has been a captain everywhere he has been and when the Oilers named him captain, he was just 19 years and 266 days.

#4. Only player to record back-to-back 4-point games in the Stanley Cup Final

Edmonton went down 3-0 to the Florida Panthers and in back-to-back must-win games, McDavid stepped up. McDavid helped the Oilers to an 8-1 blowout win in Game 4 and a 5-3 win in Game 5.

In both games, McDavid has four points and he became the only player in NHL history to record back-to-back four-point games in the Stanley Cup Final.

#3. Most points over a two-game stretch in the Stanley Cup Final

McDavid has 8 points in the last two games

In Games 4 and 5 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Final, Connor McDavid has recorded three goals and five assists for eight points.
