Connor McDavid is considered the most complete attacker in the NHL. This year, the Edmonton Oilers superstar is producing goal assists on the conveyor belt. In the 3-2 overtime win against St. Louis, he assisted on two goals and scored the winning goal in overtime.


Connor McDavid has been 13 years old since January 27th. The Canadian center for the Edmonton Oilers will reach the 100-point mark (for goals and assists) in an NHL season for the seventh time this year. He currently has 94 points and 25 games in the regular season are still outstanding.

72 assists this season

McDavid's 72 scorer points in 2023/24 are assists - more than any other player has managed this season. In the last nine games, the Oilers captain has an almost unbelievable 22 assists.

McDavid is considered the most creative player in the world. He can create a goal threat almost out of nowhere. “I enjoy getting my players into position,” explains McDavid. He wants to win the Stanley Cup with the “Oil Men” one day.

In another NHL game, title contender New York Rangers (two goals and an assist from Artemi Panarin) defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-1. The league's top-scoring teams are Vancouver and the Rangers with 83 points each, followed by Florida and Boston (82 each).
