We're merely passing through Connor McDavid's world. The Edmonton Oilers captain scored twice, including the game-winner, to lead his side to a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on Monday. McDavid now has 124 points in only 65 games this season, surpassing the 123 points he had in 80 outings last year. The 26-year-old already has 54 goals in 2022-23, ten more than his career high of 44 (established previous season), and is sprinting away with the Rocket Richard Trophy, leading second-place David Pastrnak by ten goals. McDavid also leads the league in assists with 70, and he leads teammate Leon Draisaitl by 28 points in the NHL scoring race. McDavid is now on an 11-game point run, having scored 12 goals and 27 points during that time. Monday's victory was also his sixth in his previous eight games with two goals. Earlier this season, the Richmond Hill, Ont., native became the 16th player in NHL history to have at least six 100-point seasons in his career, tying Sidney Crosby for the most among active players. Edmonton presently has the first Western Conference wild-card place, is tied for third in the Pacific Division with the Seattle Kraken with 78 points, and is four points ahead of the Colorado Avalanche, who hold the second wild-card spot.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
