Connor McDavid reached the 100-point plateau for the fifth time in seven seasons after he posted one goal and one assist in Wednesday’s 4-3 shootout win over Los Angeles. He accomplished the feat in 67 games this campaign.

McDavid is just the sixth player in NHL history to have at least five 100-point seasons before the age of 26, joining an elite group that includes Wayne Gretzky (8), Mario Lemieux (6), Dale Hawerchuk (6), Bobby Orr (5) and Bryan Trottier (5).

It was also a special night for Lucas Raymond, who reached the 50-point mark with an assist. He sits second in rookie scoring in 2021-22 and became just the fourth Red Wings player to score 50 or more points in a season before the age of 21. That puts Raymond on a list that features Steve Yzerman, Mark Osborne and Marcel Dionne.

Logan Thompson also deserves a shoutout after he shielded all 22 shots he faced for his first career NHL shutout. He earned the accomplishment in his 12th appearance with the Golden Knights. Robin Lehner, who occupied the backup role, returned to the lineup on Wednesday night after recovering from a lower-body injury.
