McDavid notched his 150th point when he scored with 1:44 left in the opening period for a 2-1 lead. He began the play by stealing the puck behind the San Jose net and passing it out front. The puck caromed in the slot before Warren Foegele made a backhand pass to McDavid coming out from behind the net and he scored with a one-timer.
