Can Oilers’ McDavid reach 100 points before Christmas?

To say it has been an incredible season for Edmonton Oilers star center Connor McDavid would be a massive understatement. 

Through 19 games in 2025-26, the 29-year-old has 11 goals and 37 assists for 48 points and, at his current pace, is on track to hit 99 points by Christmas. With his production, the Oilers sit atop the NHL’s Pacific Division and look like early contenders for another Stanley Cup chase this season. 

On Tuesday’s episode of Daily Faceoff LIVE, co-hosts Tyler Yaremchuk and Carter Hutton dove into whether McDavid can crest the 100-point mark by Christmas, and what that could mean for the Oilers’ hopes in the bigger picture. 

Tyler Yaremchuk: Connor McDavid’s record-setting start to the year came to an end last night in a 3-1 win against the New York Rangers, and the record was most consecutive games with an assist to start the season. He almost got one on the empty netter, but the official scorers gave it to him and took it away. 

This stat line from McDavid is absolutely ridiculous. If he continues at his current pace, he will be at 99 points by Christmas, which is absolutely bonkers.

Carter Hutton: He is just moving along at a clip right now that is world-class, and to think of it last night, I kind of felt bad for Dylan Garand, where you know you turn a puck over, and you give him a freebie, like the hardest guy in the world to stop right now, the hottest player on the planet, and he gets a freebie. But that’s what speed can be, and when you go into a game like that, especially if you’re going to handle the puck, the pressure on you to make quick decisions as a goalie is so high, and I think that’s just an example of a younger guy in a tough situation trying to do a little bit too much, and it leads to McDavid getting a freebie. 

But when it comes to his points right now, his production is world-class, and it doesn’t look like there are any signs of it slowing down.
