Connor McDavid on the verge of significant career milestone
Connor McDavid has cemented himself as the best modern day player in the NHL - and the Oilers captain is on the verge of breaking through a significant career milestone.
According to Sportsnet's Josh Beneteau, McDavid is remarkably about to begin his 10th NHL season and every year he keeps getting better.
Connor McDavid - 1000 points
McDavid, who turns 28 on Jan. 13, will also be among the youngest players to do it.
McDavid trails only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Newsy Lalonde with 1.52 points per game in his career. McDavid has etched his name right next to some the the NHL's greats.
McDavid also broke through Wayne Gretzky's playoff assist record. According to Daniel Nugent-Bowman from the Athletic, McDavid tied and passed The Great One as part of a three-assist, four-point effort in Game 4 - an 8-1 Oilers win to keep their season alive. Gretzky had 31 helpers in 1988, the last of his four Stanley Cup titles in Edmonton.
McDavid will have his eyes set on breaking through 1000 career points, and fans can anticipate this impressive milestone being reached within the first 10 games of the regular season.
