McDavid hits 100-point mark for 6th time in 8-year career

It's Connor McDavid's 56th game of the season, and he already has 100 points.

The Oilers superstar reached the milestone for the sixth time in his eight-year career on Friday against the New York Rangers, notching a secondary assist on an Edmonton power-play goal.

McDavid is the first player to reach the century mark in points this season. He entered Friday with a 19-point lead over teammate Leon Draisaitl for the NHL scoring race.

The only seasons in which McDavid didn't reach 100 points were his rookie year in 2015-16 when he posted 48 in 45 games, and 2019-20 when he registered 97 in 64 contests.

This is the second-fewest amount of games McDavid has needed to reach 100 points, as he required just 53 in 2020-21.

McDavid is the 16th player in NHL history with at least six 100-point seasons, tying Sidney Crosby for the most among active players.
