He now becomes just the fourth-fastest player in the NHL to reach the 1,100-point mark in just his 726th career game. McDavid follows only Wayne Gretzky (464 GP), Mario Lemieux (550 GP) and Mike Bossy (725 GP) who reached 1,100 in a few races. He is also the 69th player in league history to reach the points total in his playing career.
Milestone night for McDavid
His 1,100 point came after a beautiful pass from McDavid to Jack Roslovic, who buried it. It was a typical McDavid style point to help him reach the milestone. He would then record his 1,101 career points after an assist on Andrew Mangipane’s goal later in the match.
Despite being criticized for his lack of goals this season. At times he has shown that he can still dominate a match. He’s had nights where his fingerprints are all over the place and tonight is no different with his two aces on a milestone night for the Oilers captain.
McDavid now has three goals and 16 assists, good for 19 points this season. In his career, he scored 364 goals and 736 assists for 1,101 points in 726 games.
