Tom Wilson’s endures a painful hit from Connor McDavid
Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid achieved a remarkable milestone, becoming the first NHL player this season to reach 90 points. His five-point performance in a 6-5 overtime win against the Capitals propelled him past Nathan MacKinnon for the league scoring lead.
