Connor McDavid just reached his 100th point while playing for the Edmonton Oilers, and it came from a powerful shot by Leon Draisaitl during a power play that was really special.
This moment is important because it’s not just “another night for McDavid. ” It’s a milestone that very few players reach multiple times unless they are truly exceptional.
Bob Stauffer mentioned that McDavid is now the third player in history to have nine seasons with 100 points. The only players ahead of him are Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.
Gretzky has accomplished this in 15 seasons, and Lemieux has done it in 10, showing just how exclusive this achievement is.
Plus, the Oilers secured this milestone in a big win, not in a tense game where everyone is anxiously watching the clock.
The play itself was straightforward but effective, with McDavid near the boards, Draisaitl getting ready, and then a one-timer that ended any arguments.
That power-play goal happened with just 31 seconds remaining, like a final seal on the evening’s success.
McDavid also scored during the same game, which isn’t surprising, and he assisted on Draisaitl’s goal, making it a two-point night for him.
Connor McDavid is pushing the Edmonton Oilers toward even greater things.
Fans of the Oilers are at a point where new achievements feel almost unreal, yet it’s hard not to smile when another one occurs.
This part of the season is when teams looking to compete want to build good habits, and Edmonton’s advantage in power plays is still an effective strategy when it’s working well.
The @EdmontonOilers Connor McDavid has just picked his 100th point of the season on Leon Draisaitl’s PPG.
McDavid becomes the 3rd player (Gretzky-15, M. Lemieux-10) in NHL History to have NINE 100+ point seasons— Bob Stauffer (@Bob_Stauffer) February 27, 2026
Draisaitl ended the game with one goal and three assists, so McDavid’s news almost overshadowed Draisaitl’s big performance.
The best thing for Edmonton is how easy it seems; they move the puck quickly and create shooting chances without hesitating.
That’s why getting 100 points doesn’t feel unexpected, but more like a goal that the Oilers think he should reach.
Now the interesting question is how he will handle the remaining games, since he is already going for record-breaking achievements, and he keeps up a steady speed.
