Connor McDavid made history yet again tonight. The Edmonton Oilers captain became the first player to reach 100 points in the 2025-26 NHL season, hitting the milestone in just 60 games during an 8-1 demolition of the Los Angeles Kings.

Why it matters

McDavid's achievement puts him in exclusive company, joining NHL legends Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux as the only players to record multiple 100-point seasons. At just 28 years old, McDavid continues to cement his status as one of the greatest players of his generation.

The details

McDavid picked up his 100th point on Leon Draisaitl's power-play goal, fittingly assisting on a score from his longtime linemate. The milestone came as the Oilers dominated the struggling Kings, scoring seven goals and cruising to an easy victory at Rogers Place.

  • McDavid entered the Olympic break with 96 points in 58 games, the most before any Olympic break in league history.
  • He picked up where he left off after returning from Italy, needing just two more games to cross the century mark.
