Connor McDavid became the fourth-fastest player to reach 1,000 career points, achieving the milestone in just his 659th game. Only legends Wayne Gretzky (424 games), Mario Lemieux (513), and Mike Bossy (656) did it faster. Early in the second period during four-on-four play, McDavid and Leon Draisaitl broke out on a 2-on-1 rush. Draisaitl delivered a perfect pass, and McDavid fired it home for the milestone goal. The Oilers bench poured onto the ice to celebrate, while the Edmonton crowd erupted in thunderous applause for their captain.
