Edmonton Oilers F Connor McDavid Named NHL Rookie of the Month

Edmonton Oilers centre Connor McDavid has been named NHL Rookie of the Month for March, scoring five goals and 16 points in 15 games.

McDavid registered at least a point in 11 out of 15 contests, including five multi-point games. The 2015 first-overall pick also tied a season-high seven-game point streak in March and became the first player to take home Rookie of the Month honors in back-to-back months since Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011-12, and McDavid is also the first player to win it three times overall since Alex Ovechkin in 2005-06.
