Connor McDavid has made history at Milano Cortina 2026.
With his secondary assist on Sam Reinhart's power-play goal against Finland in Friday's semifinal, McDavid recorded his record-setting 12th point of the Winter Olympics. Reinhart's goal cut Canada's deficit to 2-1 in the second period.
McDavid extended his record to 13 points with an assist on Nathan MacKinnon's game-winning goal to secure Canada's spot in the gold-medal game with a 3-2 win.
The 29-year-old Edmonton Oilers superstar entered the semifinal tied with Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu for the all-time record for points in a single Olympics involving NHL players with 11. His nine assists entering the game were already an Olympic record.
Both Selanne and Koivu notched 11 points in Finland's silver medal-winning performance at Torino 2006.
After suiting up for Canada on numerous occasions at both junior and senior levels, McDavid is making his Olympic debut with NHL participation for the first time since Sochi 2014.
A native of Richmond Hill, Ont., McDavid has already won gold medals with Canada at a World Junior Hockey Championships, an IIHF World Championship and at last February's 4 Nations Face-Off in which he scored the tournament-winning goal in overtime against the United States.
