Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid scored his 1000th career point with a one-timer set up by Leon Draisaitl in Thursday’s matchup against the Nashville Predators.
At 2:44 of the second period, McDavid buried a one-timer from the right circle during a 2-on-1 rush with Draisaitl for a snapshot goal. Draisaitl handed the puck to McDavid as memorabilia after his landmark goal.

McDavid now becomes the fourth fastest player in NHL history to achieve the 1000-point milestone. Only Wayne Gretzky (424 games), Mario Lemieux (513 games), and Mike Bossy (656 games) reached this feat in fewer games.
Connor McDavid is the 99th player in NHL history to achieve this milestone. He has 1,000 points through 341 goals and 659 assists in 659 games.
Leon Draisaitl is the ultimate playmaker for Connor McDavid’s points
With Leon Draisaitl assisting on Connor McDavid’s 1000th career goal, he has now contributed to 44% of McDavid’s goals. Additionally, the star Oilers duo has been involved in 446 goals, with McDavid scoring 135 goals and Draisaitl netting 192 goals, both assisted by each other.
“That means everything,” McDavid said. “They are teammates, guys you go to battle with, the guys that have been here forever through the good times and the bad times. You build a brotherhood, you build a bond and we certainly got that.
“These moments are a great time to look back and appreciate the things and the people that mean a lot to you,” he said NHL.com after the game.
McDavid finished the night with two points, helping his team win 3-2 against the Nashville Predators in overtime. The Oilers improved their record to (9-7-1) and are fourth in the Pacific Division with 19 points.
They’ll be up against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena on Saturday. The puck drops at 7 p.m. ET.
