Connor McDavid extends historic NHL point streak

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has extended his point streak to 19 games following a 3:1 victory over the New York Rangers. During the match, McDavid scored a goal after a puck deflected off the Rangers' goal frame and off his stick, following an attempt by goaltender Dylan Garand to clear the puck.

McDavid is the fourth player in NHL history to record a point streak of at least 19 games to start a season, joining Wayne Gretzky, Mats Sundin, and Dany Heatley. He currently has 48 points, consisting of 11 goals and 37 assists. His 37 assists also represent an NHL record for consecutive games with an assist, reaching 15 games.

If McDavid maintains his current pace of 2.59 points per game, he could potentially reach 218 points for the season, surpassing Wayne Gretzky’s single-season record of 215 points set in 1985–86. Alongside teammate Leon Draisaitl, who has 18 goals, McDavid has been instrumental in Edmonton leading the Western Conference in both points and goals scored.
