The Oilers captain leads the NHL with 47 points (10 goals, 37 assists).
McDavid can become the third player in League history to reach 50 points in 19 or fewer games. He has the chance to join Mario Lemieux (1988-89, 1992-93, 1995-96) and Wayne Gretzky (1983-84, 1984-85).
McDavid can also become the fastest player in NHL history to reach 40 assists; Gretzky did so in 22 games in 1984-85.
Macklin Celebrini, the No. 1 pick by the San Jose Sharks in the 2024 NHL Draft, can get his 200th point in the League when San Jose hosts the New York Islanders at SAP Center (10 p.m. ET; MSGSN, NBCSCA, TVAS).
The Sharks captain has 199 points (77 goals, 122 assists) in 169 games.
At 20 years, 149 days, Celebrini can become the fifth-youngest player in NHL history at the time of his 200th point. He would trail Sidney Crosby (19 years, 207 days), Gretzky (19 years, 347 days), Jimmy Carson (20 years, 107 days) and Lemieux (20 years, 133 days on Feb. 15, 1986).
Celebrini leads San Jose (7-11-1) this season with 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 17 games and has a three-game point streak. The Sharks have lost five straight in regulation.
Jamie Drysdale can extend his NHL career-high point streak to five games for the Philadelphia Flyers (4-10-5), who visit the Vancouver Canucks (9:30 p.m. ET; SN+, NBCSP).
The defenseman has six assists during his run, which began Nov. 1. Philadelphia has lost three in a row.
Brock Boeser can become the sixth fastest to 500 points with the Canucks (3-14-1), who have lost five straight in regulation. He has 498 points (233 goals, 265 assists) in 648 games.
Matthew Schaefer looks to take the team lead in scoring for the New York Islanders. The 19-year-old defenseman, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, has 16 points (five goals, 11 assists) in 16 games, tied with captain Bo Horvat for the team lead in points.
Schaefer has 75 points (28 goals, 47 assists) in 98 games.
The Rangers (10-7-1) are looking for their fourth straight victory in the second game of a four-game road trip. New York lost four straight before this run, including a 4-1 loss to Edmonton at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 1.
Adam Fox leads the Rangers with 22 points (two goals, 20 assists) in 18 games. He needs one assist to pass Brian Leetch (20 in 2000-01) and tie Jaromir Jagr (21 in 2006-07) for the second-most assists before a player’s 20th game of a season in Rangers history.
