Connor McDavid hits ‘absurd’ spin move to leave opponent chasing shadows before scoring 35th goal of remarkable season
CONNOR McDavid continues to have an MVP-caliber season.
McDavid's stunning goal from Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks marked his 35th of what is proving to be a remarkable year.
With just under ten minutes to go in the first period, McDavid picks up a pass from winger Kailer Yamamoto.
A sharp cut by McDavid then had Ducks center Trevor Zegras stumbling as McDavid backhanded the puck into the top corner past goaltender Jack Campbell to give his side a 3-1 lead.
He finished the night with one goal, two points, and one assist.
McDavid currently leads the NHL in goals, assists, points, and goals created.

In fact, he's on track to score 151 points this year which would be enough for the 16th most in league history for a single season.
Fans swooned over McDavid's latest piece of magic, with names like "McJesus" and "McMVP" being suggested for the 26-year-old.
One fan commented: "Just another day at the office of God on Ice"
While one said: "What he does with the hockey stick is pure GREATNESS"

Even the NHL's Twitter account called his goal "just absurd."
Currently fifth in the Pacific Division with a 22-18 record, McDavid and the Oilers will be hoping to string together back-to-back wins this week when they head to San Jose to play the 13-22 Sharks.
