What happened: Connor McDavid's assist streak ended at 18 games. The run matched the second-longest in NHL history.
Why it matters: Wayne Gretzky's 23-game run remains the league record, five games beyond McDavid's mark. The streak came in a season where McDavid was already the fastest player to 30 assists in a season.
By the numbers: McDavid: 18 consecutive games with an assist, tied for second all-time. Gretzky: 23 consecutive games, the NHL record.
What to watch: McDavid starts a new assist streak with his next helper.
