Oilers' Connor McDavid: Gets back to 100-point mark
Rotowire
McDavid logged an assist in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.
Multiple injuries and a suspension limited McDavid to 67 appearances this season, but he still had time to reach the 100-point mark for the fifth year in a row and the eighth time in his 10 NHL campaigns. His 1.49 points-per-game in 2024-25 was his lowest scoring pace in six years, but he continues to be one of the most skilled and impressive players in the league. In addition to his 26 goals and 74 helpers, McDavid had 196 shots on net, 40 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-20 rating in 2024-25. He'll look to lead the Oilers in the playoffs as they meet the Kings in the first round for the fourth year in a row.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Playing Wednesday
Rotowire
McDavid (rest) will suit up for the regular-season finale against the Sharks on Wednesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.
McDavid has played in just three of the Oilers' last 12 games but managed to garner nine helpers in that trio of appearances. The world-class center's absence Monday was deemed precautionary, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see him returning for the final game of the regular season. With just one more point, McDavid can reach the 100-point threshold for the eighth time in his 10-year NHL career.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Sitting out against Kings
Rotowire
McDavid will miss Monday's matchup with Los Angeles for precautionary reasons, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.
McDavid hasn't scored in his three games back from a previous lower-body injury, but he has racked up nine helpers over that stretch, including two with the man advantage. The 28-year-old center is likely just being rested ahead of the postseason, so fantasy managers shouldn't have to worry about his availability when the playoffs begin. McDavid should probably be considered questionable at best for the regular-season finale versus San Jose on Wednesday.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: One point from century mark
Rotowire
McDavid provided two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
McDavid has nine helpers over three games since returning from a lower-body injury. He assisted on goals by Connor Brown and Viktor Arvidsson, which opened and closed the scoring in this contest. McDavid's now at 99 points (26 goals, 73 helpers) with 195 shots on net and a plus-19 rating across 66 appearances. The Oilers' injury situation will likely force McDavid to stay in the lineup for the last two regular-season games, but that should give him plenty of time to secure the eighth 100-point campaign of his career.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Helps out on all four goals Friday
Rotowire
McDavid recorded four assists, four shots on net, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.
McDavid has seven helpers over two games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old earned two of his assists Friday on the power play. He's matched his jersey number in the points column with 97 (26 goals, 71 assists) across 65 appearances, and he's added 191 shots on net, 39 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-16 rating. The injury doesn't look to be bothering him, and with the Oilers missing a lot of other players, McDavid may have to suit up for all three remaining regular-season contests.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Three helpers in return
Rotowire
McDavid notched three assists, four PIM and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Blues.
McDavid led all Edmonton forwards with 20:35 of ice time in his return from an eight-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old picked up right where he left off -- he's amassed four goals and 18 assists over his last 14 outings. The Oilers can't really afford to rest any forwards until some of the injured ones return, so assume McDavid will continue to play as long as he's healthy. He's now at 93 points (26 goals, 67 helpers), 187 shots on net, 35 PIM, 39 hits and a plus-14 rating over 64 appearances. He'll have up to four games to make a push for the 100-point mark, a level he's missed just twice in the first nine years of his career.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Now expected to play
Rotowire
McDavid (lower body) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Blues despite prior reports suggesting he would not suit up, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
McDavid is poised to end an eight-game absence due to the injury. His return would be a welcome sight for an Oilers team that has watched injuries pile up at forward, which had Edmonton staring down the prospect of facing the Blues with just 11 forwards and six defensemen available. Assuming McDavid can play, he'll look to pick up where he left off -- he recorded a 13-game point streak with four goals and 15 assists prior to his injury.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Road trip return unlikely
Rotowire
McDavid (lower body), contrary to previous reports, is unlikely to suit up during the Oilers' three-game road trip, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports Wednesday.
Anything is possible for McDavid, who has returned from injuries ahead of schedule in the past. Still, with the Oilers' playoff spot relatively secure, there is no reason for the team to rush its world-class center back into the lineup until he is 100 percent. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should see increased opportunities while McDavid remains on the shelf.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Could return during road trip
Rotowire
Head coach Kris Knoblauch said Sunday that McDavid (lower body) won't travel with the Oilers for the start of their road trip that begins Tuesday in Vegas, but the 28-year-old could return at some point during the trip, Derek Van Diest of NHL.com reports.
McDavid has already missed four games due to his lower-body injury, and Knoblauch said that the center will presumably be sidelined for the first two games of Edmonton's road trip. As a result, it's safe to assume that McDavid will be unavailable Tuesday against the Golden Knights and Thursday against the Sharks. However, he's expected to return before the end of the regular season, which should give him some time to get back into a rhythm before the start of the playoffs.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Set to miss next three games
Rotowire
McDavid (lower body) will probably miss Edmonton's next three games, starting with Wednesday's matchup versus Dallas, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Monday.
McDavid sat out Saturday's 5-4 win over Seattle and was expected to miss about a week of action. Still, it's unclear when the 28-year-old forward will return to the lineup. He has amassed 26 goals, 90 points and 187 shots on net across 63 appearances this season. With McDavid and Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) unavailable, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins will continue to see top-line minutes.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Exits Thursday's contest
Rotowire
McDavid (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Jets, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
McDavid came off the ice ailing late in the second period, and he'll be forced to miss the rest of this game. The Oilers are suddenly in dire straits at center, as Leon Draisaitl (undisclosed) was not able to play Thursday. Both of the team's top centers will be questionable heading into Saturday's home game versus the Kraken. The Oilers are sufficiently above the playoff bubble, so expect them to play it safe with McDavid's health.
McDavid scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.
McDavid extended his point streak to 11 games after converting on a shot late in the third period before the Rangers' defense could close in on him. The 28-year-old has three goals and 12 assists during the streak -- Sunday's game was the first in that span that didn't see him provide a helper. The superstar is up to 25 goals, 61 assists, 183 shots on net, 38 hits and a plus-6 rating through 61 appearances.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Two helpers to extend point streak
Rotowire
McDavid recorded two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.
McDavid recorded a multi-point game for the fourth time across his last five contests, and the star playmaker has been on a tear lately, recording at least one point in each of his last nine appearances to reach 13 scoring contributions (two goals, 11 assists) over that stretch. McDavid is having another excellent season and has notched 84 points in only 59 contests, and with 16 games remaining on the Oilers' schedule, the 100-point plateau should be within reach for the 28-year-old for a fifth consecutive campaign.

McDavid set up the first of Zach Hyman's goals in the first period. In the second, McDavid got set loose on a one-on-one situation, and he danced through Ilya Lyubushkin before backhanding in the Oilers' fourth goal of the game. This performance extended his point streak to seven games (two goals, eight assists). The superstar is up to 24 tallies, 81 points, 177 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-3 rating across 57 appearances this season.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Supplies two more helpers
Rotowire
McDavid notched two assists and three shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canadiens.
McDavid is starting to pick up the pace again. He's on a six-game point streak (one goal, seven helpers), and this was his second multi-point effort in a row after having just one across the previous 11 contests since his three-game suspension in late January. The superstar center is up to 23 goals, 56 helpers, 173 shots on net, 35 hits, 29 PIM and a plus-1 rating across 56 appearances this season. While he's on pace for his worst scoring total since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign, McDavid is still expected to cross the 100-point threshold for the eighth time in his career.

The superstar snapped a seven-game goal drought Tuesday and is up to 23 tallies, 77 points (28 on the power play), 170 shots on net and a plus-1 rating across 55 appearances in 2024-25.

Oilers' Connor McDavid: Goal but game not in sync
Rotowire
McDavid scored Canada's lone goal in a 3-1 loss to the United States on Saturday at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.
McDavid broke into the zone fast, stepped wide and protected the puck from Charlie McAvoy. McDavid then lifted a backhand over Connor Hellebuyck's glove from the right side. It was a nice goal, and it earned him the game's third star, but McDavid had a frustrating night overall. He was hammered twice on big hits from McAvoy, and he struggled to get in sync with any wingers. There will be some line changes for Monday's game against Finland -- Canada needs to get this guy going.
