Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid did something last night that only three other players in NHL history accomplished, scoring 100 points in eight seasons.

Connor McDavid wrapped up his 10th NHL season with another milestone in the books.

The Edmonton Oilers' captain recorded an assist on a Ty Emberson goal on Wednesday night in a contest against the San Jose Sharks, his 100th point of the 2024-25 season.

With that, McDavid joined the company of all-time greats Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, and Marcel Dionne as just the fourth player in NHL history with eight 100-point seasons.

McDavid is now seven seasons back of the all-time record held by Wayne Gretzky

Gretzky holds the record with 15 such seasons, Lemieux did it 10 times, and Dionne eight. McDavid finishes the regular season with 26 goals and 74 assists.

McDavid topped the Oilers in assists and was second on the team in scoring behind Leon Draisaitl, who had 106 points (52 goals, 54 assists). Edmonton completed the season 48-29-5 for 101 points, third in the Pacific Division.

They'll play the Los Angeles Kings in Round 1 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, a familiar foe, as it will be the fourth straight postseason the clubs have played in Round 1. Edmonton has prevailed each time.

Selected first overall in 2015, McDavid has lived up to and surpassed all expectations. His accolades and awards include five Art Ross Trophies, four Ted Lindsay Awards, three Hart Trophies, and a Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy.

His finest season so far was in 2022-23, when he scored 64 goals and 89 assists for 153 points, the highest since Lemieux in 1995-96. Only Lemieux, Gretzky, and Steve Yzerman have ever had more points in a single season.
