Good night, Nurse.
Connor McDavid celebrated his 21st birthday Saturday and Edmonton Oilers teammate Darnell Nurse got in on the celebration as well.

On the night McDavid earned his 200th NHL point, Nurse scored 53 seconds into overtime for a
3-2 win at the Vegas Golden Knights
. It was the first home loss for the Golden Knights since Dec. 12; they have not lost in regulation at home since Nov. 28.
Though Nurse played the hero, McDavid became the third-youngest active player to reach 200 points, doing it in 173 games. He is also the fourth Oiler to reach 200 points before turning 22 and the second-youngest Edmonton player to reach the mark, after Wayne Gretzky (19 years, 347 days).
Nurse's goal was his fourth in his past four games.
