The 'Most 5-point NHL games' quiz

With three games left in the 2025-26 regular season, the Edmonton Oilers are still battling to secure their spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. A five-point game from captain Connor McDavid will certainly help their cause. 

The 29 year old scored the 16th hat-trick of his 10-year career and added two assists to lead the Oilers to a 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. With the effort, McDavid increased his NHL-best point total to 133 on the campaign while his 47 goals are third-most behind Nathan MacKinnon’s 51 and Cole Caufield’s 49. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Wednesday’s heroics were the 14th occasion on which he’s recorded at least five points in a single contest. With that being said, how many of the players to accomplish that feat at least nine times can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
