McDavid won the scoring league in the NHL last season with 153 points. His scoring average was then 1.86. If he keeps up the pace of the winter, he will finish with 131 points (1.60 on average per game).
He reached the 900 point milestone last night when he played Zach Hyman for the 2-0 goal.
It took McDavid 602 games to reach 900 points. Fifth fastest listing of all time.
– Hopefully I can do even more, it’s special. It’s a big milestone, but I just want to contribute even more to the Oilers now, said Connor McDavid on the ice after the victory.

Leon Draisaitl has also picked up the scoring production and was recorded last night for a goal and an assist.
And the super duo weren’t alone among Edmonton’s poster names in the scoring record, Zach Hyman accounted for a goal and two assists in the game of the night and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins recorded two goals and an assist.
With six straight wins, Edmonton is now just a few points out of the second and final wild card spot in the Western Conference.
