McDavid is one point away from having a fourth-straight 20-point postseason. This is a big deal.
According to NHL Public Relations, only three other players have reached this milestone. Sergei Federov did it from 1995 to 1998. Bryan Trottier and Mike Bossy hit that mark between 1980 and 83.
Four straight years of recording at least 20 points is the longest streak in NHL history.
