McDavid records four points in his 800th NHL game

Connor McDavid marked his 800th NHL regular-season game with a goal and three assists as Edmonton beat Los Angeles 4–1 on October 13, the early hours of October 14 in Moscow.

The Oilers captain now has one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven points, comprising four hundred and thirteen goals and eight hundred and twenty-four assists. According to NHL statistics, only Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux scored more through their first eight hundred regular-season games, with one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two and one thousand five hundred and eighty points respectively.

McDavid assisted Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin in the first period before scoring himself. In the third, he and Draisaitl assisted Podkolzin's empty-net goal. The Russian forward finished with two goals.

McDavid became the ninth player in league history to record at least fifty games with four or more points. The comparison over the first eight hundred games covers regular seasons and excludes the playoffs.

Through six games this season, McDavid has seventeen points, including four goals and thirteen assists. Edmonton recorded its fifth consecutive win, while goaltender Devon Levi made thirty-nine saves.
