Mario Lemieux has emerged from the history books to act as a measuring stick for the NHL’s current two most prodigious talents.Between them, they are making a mockery of NHL scoring standards: McDavid has 27 points in his last 11 games and Matthews has 18 goals in his last 18 games.
McDavid scored twice, including an empty-netter, and assisted on two more goals Monday in a win over Vancouver. Lemieux earned points on 199 of Pittsburgh’s 336 goals in 1988-89 and, virtually mirrored McDavid’s totals this season, 91 of 160 goals , in 2002-03. Wayne Gretzky holds the all-time mark of 1.18 goals per game and shares the second-highest mark with Lemieux. Both had seasons averaging 1.15 goals per game – Gretzky in 1981-82 and Lemieux in in 1992-93.
Has no other player ever scored 50 in 50 before?
Matthews is not in the same convo as Mcdavid.
Matthews for the Rocket! McDavid for the Hart!
