Connor McDavid Completes Historic NHL Season, Secures 100 Points

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid reached the 100-point mark for the eighth time in his career, tying Marcel Dionne for the third-most 100-point seasons in NHL history, despite missing games due to injury. McDavid has also achieved five consecutive 100-point seasons, a feat last matched by Steve Yzerman in the early 1990s. In addition to his on-ice achievements, McDavid was named the NHL's 'Best Overall Forward' in the 2024–25 NHLPA Player Poll, securing nearly 74% of player votes, though some fans expressed disagreement, citing perceived declines in his recent performance. Despite these criticisms, McDavid's peers continue to recognize his elite status within the league. The Oilers are preparing for their playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, with most players expected to return from injury. Head coach Kris Knoblauch remains optimistic about the team's health and readiness for the postseason.
