Edmonton Oilers rookie Connor McDavid extended his current point streak to seven games - matching his career-best run set in October - by scoring his first goal since March 10, poke-checking the puck off Vincent Lecavalier's stick and in against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday.
The goal marks McDavid's 44th point of the season, passing Dylan Larkin for fourth in rookie scoring despite playing over 30 games less than any others in the top five.
