22 Mar
Summary
- McDavid scored one goal on four shots during Saturday's loss.
- He is now second in the NHL in points, his lowest standing since January.
- Nikita Kucherov's four-point performance propelled him to the top.
Connor McDavid's recent scoring streak ended on Saturday, as he netted one goal on four shots in a 5-2 loss. Despite the goal, which broke a three-game dry spell, McDavid's performance saw him finish with four penalty minutes and a minus-3 rating. This result has significant implications for the NHL's scoring standings.
Nikita Kucherov's exceptional four-point outing in the same game propelled him past McDavid in the overall points race. This marks the first time this season McDavid has not led the league in scoring since January 23. He now holds 38 goals and 116 points over 71 games played this season.
