Connor McDavid Secures Second on Oilers Points List

Connor McDavid has solidified his status in Edmonton Oilers history by surpassing Jari Kurri for second all-time in career points, achieving 1,044 points during a recent 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. McDavid now trails only Wayne Gretzky, who holds the franchise record with 1,669 points. This accomplishment highlights McDavid's remarkable consistency, as he has spent his entire 10-year career with the Oilers and continues to perform at an elite level. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch praised McDavid's achievement, emphasizing the significance of his rapid ascent in the organization's scoring ranks. While McDavid's pursuit of Gretzky's record remains a lofty goal, his record of 72 game-winning goals ties him with Glenn Anderson for the most in Oilers history, further cementing his legacy. Looking ahead, the only player on the Blackhawks with a chance to enter the top ranks is Connor Bedard, though that remains a long-term prospect.
