RELEASE: McDavid, Herman named January's Stars of the Month

EDMONTON, AB - Oilers captain Connor McDavid and registered nurse Renee Herman have been selected as the NHL's Scotia North Division Stars of the Month for January.
A registered nurse since 2010, Herman has been working in the Royal Alexandra Hospital ICU since 2014. Throughout the pandemic, she has shown excellent leadership, remained positive, and maintained a focus on providing patient- and family-centered care, which has been challenging for staff and physicians on the unit due to COVID-19 restrictions and protocols.
Along with her colleagues, Herman constantly does her best to update and support family members who cannot be bedside for their loved ones during this difficult time.
McDavid (8-14-22 in 11 GP) led the NHL in goals (T-8), points (22), power-play assists (T-7), power-play points (10), game-winning goals (T-3) and shots on goal (T-43) to guide the Oilers to a 5-6-0 January.
The captain finished the month on a seven-game point streak (5-12-17), highlighted by multiple points in each of his last five contests (4-11-15) and 1-4-5 on Jan. 31 vs. OTT - his League-best sixth five-point performance since entering the NHL in 2015-16.
The 24-year-old Richmond Hill, Ont., native and two-time Art Ross Trophy winner (2016-17 and 2017-18) reached the 20-point plateau within Edmonton's first 11 games for the second consecutive season, following 6-14-20 in 2019-20. Only one other player in Oilers history has achieved that feat multiple times: Wayne Gretzky (6x, most recently 1987-88: 7-19-26).
