The Edmonton Oilers came into Monday night's game versus the Arizona Coyotes having picked up points in their previous six games and were able to make it seven as they were able to squeak out a 5-4 victory. It was by no means their finest effort, but helped them get back into the win column after losing to the Vegas Golden Knights in overtime two nights prior. Here are the three main takeaways from Monday's outing at Mullett Arena. Jack Campbell has taken plenty of criticism for his play this season, and rightfully so.
McDavid, the All-Star center who is running away in the race for the Hart Trophy as league MVP, became the first player to reach the mark since Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr both achieved it in 1995-96 for the Pittsburgh Penguins. The last Oilers player to do it was Wayne Gretzky in 1987-88. McDavid also became just the seventh player in NHL history with 60 goals and 80 assists in a season.
