Indeed, McDavid looked like he was itching to get on the ice as much as possible last night. Although Connor McDavid is often reluctant to address the big elephant in the room -- the 1000 point mark, -- he was clearly looking to hit that milestone last night.
Overall, it was a dominant performance by Connor McDavid. The Oilers captain was involved on all 4 goals last night, getting his point totals to 999.
According to David Staples of the Edmonton Journalm The Oilers power play has been struggling as of late, but McDavid got things by moving his legs to open up a passing lane, then threading that lane with a perfect feed to Draisaitl for the 1-0.
McDavid also hit the post seconds before the 2-1 goal by Evan Bouchard, but cleaned up the mess by recovering the rebound and immediately starting the next cycle, which obviously worked.
It's also worth mentioning that Connor McDavid took home "player of the match" during the team's traditional post game awards -- but that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone.
