McDavid made Stanley Cup Playoffs history on Saturday during Game 4 against the Florida Panthers, setting a new NHL mark for assists in a single post-season run with his 32nd.
The Oilers captain collected a trio of helpers during the team's first victory of the series, assisting on a pair of goals in the middle frame and one more in the third to set the new record.
