Oilers superstar captain Connor McDavid explained what the best part of reaching the 1,000-point threshold was.

Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 6-2. Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard each had a goal and an assist, and Vasily Podkolzin and Darnell Nurse

The first two periods were, in McDavid's words, a "snoozer". After a scoreless first, the Oilers struck quickly on the powerplay to open the second period on a vintage McDavid-to-Draisaitl connection. That's one for McDavid and another for the Oilers' beleaguered powerplay.

Anytime that another player gets high praise from Oilers captain Connor McDavid, you know that they did something right.

Connor McDavid became the fourth-fastest NHL player to reach 1,000 points, scoring early in the second period for the Edmonton Oilers against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.

He became the 99th player ever to get 1,000 points and did so at the very young age of 27 after less than nine seasons in hockey’s top league. The way he did that in only 659 regular-season games is even more impressive, making him the fourth-fastest player to achieve that milestone.

EDMONTON -- Connor McDavid had two goals and an assist for the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-2 win against the New York Rangers at Rogers Place on Saturday. Leon Draisaitl and Evan Bouchard each had a goal and an assist for the Oilers (11-9-2), who were 1-2-1 in their previous four games. Stuart Skinner made 32 saves.

Connor McDavid scored two goals and added an assist as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Rangers 6-2 on Saturday night. Artemi Panarin had two goals for the Rangers, who have lost two straight after opening a four-game road trip with two wins.

The Rangers came into the game flat and there is no other way to put it. In the first period, Edmonton bombarded New York with 21 shots as the Bluehsirts were completely outplayed. The speed of Connor McDavid and the Oilers was just too much for the Rangers to handle.
