Oh hey look, Connor McDavid has provided another reason to attach his name to Wayne Gretzky's.
McDavid bagged his sixth point of the season as the Edmonton Oilers swept their season-opening home-and-home series with the Calgary Flames on Friday night, becoming the first Oilers player since Gretzky in 1987-88 to collect six-plus points through two games, according to NHL Public Relations.
The early NHL scoring leader claimed another goal on a beautiful backhand deke during a breakaway try - using a different move on Brian Elliott than the one he scored with on a penalty shot in the season opener - also adding assists on goals from Jordan Eberle and Leon Draisaitl.
Edmonton is 2-0 for the first time since 2010.
