Connor McDavid started the scoring against Vancouver after just 45 seconds.

For the remainder of the match, he scored points on all three of Edmonton's other goals.

The decision came with only 40 seconds left to play, when McDavid played his German teammate, Leon Draisaitl, in powerplay.

Edmonton has been ready for the playoffs for some time now, while Vancouver has parked in the jumbo spot in the North Division and will miss continued games after the regular season.

Connor McDavid, 24, will be the ninth player in history to reach three-digit number of points in 53 games and at the same time the first to succeed in this in 25 years.

On April 17, McDavid had 69 points in 42 games.

Since then, the star has accounted for 31 points in his only eleven last games.
