Oilers' Connor McDavid: Point streak up to seven games
Rotowire
McDavid recorded two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
McDavid didn't find the back of the net in this one, but he still helped out on two of the team's four goals. Aside from cracking the scoresheet in every one of his November appearances so far, tallying 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in seven games this month, McDavid is among the most productive players in the league once again. His 27 points rank second in the league, only behind Nathan MacKinnon's 33.
McDavid scored two goals and took five shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
McDavid came through when the Oilers needed him the most. The star center found the twine twice in the third period and reduced the Blue Jackets' lead to just one goal both times. This was the second time McDavid scored more than one goal in a single game this season, and his production remains off the charts. He's now riding a five-game point streak with 10 points (four goals, six assists) since the beginning of November.

Rotowire
McDavid scored a power-play goal on four shots, added two PIM and went minus-3 in Saturday's 9-1 loss to the Avalanche.
If this was a measuring-stick game for McDavid and the Oilers, they came up vastly short of Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche. McDavid's goal prevented a shutout and gave him two goals and six helpers over his last four games, but that won't satisfy him amid the Oilers' three-game losing streak. For the season, the 28-year-old superstar has five goals, 22 points, 45 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 16 appearances.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Reaches career milestone Monday
Rotowire
McDavid notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.
McDavid became the fourth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 1,100 career points following this two-assist performance, but the Oilers still lost the game, so they've now dropped four of their last six (2-2-2). Despite the collective struggles, McDavid remains an absolute force on offense for Edmonton. This was his sixth multi-point game of the season, and he's up to 19 points (three goals, 16 helpers) in 14 games so far.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Two helpers in New Jersey

Both helpers came on tallies by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, but the Oilers' offense didn't have much else going on in the afternoon affair.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Opens season with two assists
Rotowire
McDavid provided a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and five shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.
While we won't get to enjoy contract-year McDavid after he signed a two-year deal Monday, his regular level of production is still quite exciting. He helped out on first-period tallies by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Andrew Mangiapane to open his account for 2025-26. McDavid has logged at least 100 points in eight of the last nine seasons, and that's the bare-minimum expectation for him as long as he can stay relatively healthy. He could be more productive this year if he's able to increase his shot volume -- he averaged just 2.9 shots per game in the 2024-25 regular season, his lowest mark since his rookie year.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Signs two-year extension
Rotowire
McDavid agreed to terms on a two-year, $25 million contract extension with Edmonton on Monday.
McDavid's deal comes in well short of the massive contract just signed by Kirill Kaprizov ($17 million AAV). Still, it is a short-term bridge deal that will allow McDavid to cash in sooner by going with significantly less term. The world-class center will also be able to see how much the team progresses over the next three seasons before deciding whether to commit to Edmonton long term. McDavid figures to be a lock for the 100-point mark, a threshold he's reached in five straight campaigns, and he should be near the top of the league in points -- as long as he doesn't miss significant time due to injury like he did last season, when he was limited to just 67 regular-season games.
