Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers continues to make headlines as he surpasses Jari Kurri for second place on the franchise's all-time points list with 1,044 points, still trailing Wayne Gretzky by 626 points. In a recent game against the Los Angeles Kings, McDavid scored the only goal, leading the Oilers to a 1-0 victory, which helped them secure the second spot in the Pacific Division. This win marked Edmonton's sixth victory in seven games, while showcasing Stuart Skinner's impressive shutout performance.
