McDavid Eyes Career-Best 18-Game Point Streak as Oilers Host Kings

His 17-game surge has produced 41 points, a rarity that places him with Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane for 40-plus-point streaks.

Overview

  • Connor McDavid extended his run to 17 games with a goal and an assist in a 4-3 comeback win over the Jets.
  • He has 41 points during the streak and enters Saturday leading the league with 48 assists, while his 29 goals trail Nathan MacKinnon's 36.
  • Edmonton has won two straight and 11 of its past 17 games and sits second in the Pacific Division.
  • Evan Bouchard’s assist on McDavid’s goal marked his fifth straight 40-point season, with Paul Coffey the only Oilers defenseman to do it longer.
  • Los Angeles visits on the second night of a back-to-back after a 5-1 loss in Winnipeg, seeking to avoid a third straight defeat in the first meeting with Edmonton since last spring’s six-game playoff series.
