Connor McDavid breaks stick, scores goal, gets paid
NHL sophomore becomes 1st player to reach 60 points this season
A broken stick couldn't stop Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid from scoring a nasty backhander.
The goal is McDavid's 18th of the season and makes him the first player to reach 60 points this year. With that feat comes a hefty bonus for the NHL sophomore.
Connor McDavid scores. In 99th game he keeps record of not going 3 games in row without scoring. And 60th point of season = $212,500 bonus.

McDavid on the backhand, shovels it upstairs. Most impressive shovel job since this one. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oilers?src=hash">#Oilers</a> 1 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Canes?src=hash">#Canes</a> 1 <a href="https://t.co/3sLXAsxhV6">pic.twitter.com/3sLXAsxhV6</a>
—@AzorcanGlobalMcDavid and Talbot can't drag the team themselves. Everyone has to be there working and I think this week proves it.
