The Great One is in another world with his 51-game streak from 1983. Mats Sundin lasted 30 games in 1992. Dany Heatley managed 22 games in 2005. McDavid only needs two more to leapfrog Heatley and claim third all-time for longest season-opening point streak in NHL history.

Connor McDavid’s ridiculous streak continues

McDavid has now reached 20 consecutive games with at least one point – making him just the fourth player to ever accomplish such a feat in league history. The other three are none other than Wayne Gretzky, Mats Sundin and Dany Heatley.

At this point it’s almost silly to ask if Connor McDavid is the best player in the NHL. Of course he is. But when you’re racking up point after point after point like McDavid has been all season, you start to wonder if there’s anything this guy can’t do.

McDavid and Oilers continue to torment NHL

McDavid has 49 points this season and continues to terrorize opposing defenses with Leon Draisaitl, who is also on a tear himself, scoring multiple goals a night.

Connor McDavid has recorded points in his last 20 games played. Here’s how he compares to other all-time streaks:

• Connor McDavid: 20 (active)
• Dany Heatley: 22 (2005)
• Mats Sundin: 30 (1992)
• Wayne Gretzky: 51 (1983)

It’s almost criminal for goalies to sleep soundly knowing the Oilers could be coming to town. They know McDavid is coming. They know he’s going to break their hearts. They just don’t know exactly how.

Will Connor McDavid’s point streak continue?

McDavid has now recorded points in 20 straight games. Will it be 21 on Sunday? We’ll soon find out.

Until then, just sit back and marvel at the greatness of Connor McDavid. History is being made and it’s being made by McDavid.
