Connor McDavid sets NHL record for fastest player to 30 assists

Connor McDavid Edmonton Oilers NHL record New York Rangers hockey

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has become the fastest player in NHL history to record 30 assists in a single season, reaching the milestone in just 15 games. This performance surpasses the previous record of 16 games set by Wayne Gretzky during the 1984-85 season.

McDavid achieved the feat during a 4-1 victory over the New York Rangers on November 1, 2026. In addition to his record-breaking assist, McDavid scored a goal just 50 seconds into the game, marking his eighth career opening-minute goal and surpassing Mark Messier for the most in Oilers franchise history. He currently leads the league with 39 points.

The Oilers victory was bolstered by two goals from Colton Dach and contributions from Evan Bouchard, who recorded a goal and two assists. The win extended Edmonton's season-opening assists streak for McDavid to 15 games and matched the club's record for the best road start in franchise history.
