Oilers accomplish feat unseen in NHL for nearly 30 years

The dynamic duo for the Edmonton Oilers of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid have both clipped the 100 point mark, meaning that the team has two of the most offensively gifted players in the National Hockey League today. And it's typical to see the both of them command most of the attention in Edmonton. 

However, a third member of the team who has donned the Oilers colors for longer than both McDavid and DRaisaitl has gone about his business this season and eclipsed the 100 point mark for himself. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who was taken by Edmonton with the 1st overall selection in the 2011 NHL Draft, has scored 36 goals with 64 assists for a career high 100 points. 

In doing so, the Oilers now have themselves three 100 point players, the first time that an NHL team has has boasted that since the Pittsburgh Penguins did so in the 1995-96 season. Mario Lemieux (161), Jaromir Jagr (149) and Ron Francis (119) all led the way for Pittsburgh that season offensively, while Petr Nedved came within a point of 100 himself. 

What's more, Nugent-Hopkins is now fourth all-time for the most seasons before reaching the century mark, as this is his 12th NHL season.
