Connor McDavid already chasing Olympic history with dominant start

Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers) has established himself as the most dominant offensive player in the NHL and is well on his way to becoming one of the league's all-time greats. On an individual level, he has done pretty much everything a superstar forward can do. 

It is the team success in terms of championships that he has been lacking. 

The only championship he has won since entering the NHL was last year's 4 Nations Face-Off, where he scored the game-winning overtime goal in the championship game against the United States.

He has had two Stanley Cup Final appearances in each of the past two seasons, but he has been unable to get over the hump and win it all. Given the struggles of the Oilers this season, it seems unlikely he will get there again.

But now that NHL players are back in the Olympics, he is getting his first chance to win a gold medal and is already making the most of that opportunity. He is also already chasing some Olympic history given his fast start over Canada's first two games.

McDavid had another big game in Canada's 5-1 win over Switzerland on Friday, scoring a goal and adding two assists. It is already his second three-point game of the series and gives him six points through the first two games.

These are significant numbers because he is the first player since the NHL began participating to open a tournament with six points in two games.
