Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid became the fourth player in NHL history and the first in 33 years to notch 100 assists in a single season Monday against the San Jose Sharks.

He entered the contest with 99 helpers and hit the century mark with a feed to Zach Hyman.

McDavid joins Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Bobby Orr as the only NHLers to accomplish the feat.

The Great One was the last to do it in 1990-91, which was his 11th consecutive campaign with at least 100 assists. Lemieux (1988-89) and Orr (1970-71) each hit the milestone once in their careers.

McDavid reached the 120-point mark for the third straight campaign in late March.
