McDavid recorded an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has gone five games without a goal, but he's not leaving fantasy managers hurting since he's racked up 13 helpers in that span. The 27-year-old reached the 60-assist mark Saturday, and he's added 21 goals, 164 shots on net, 76 hits and a plus-22 rating through 49 outings. His slow start has forced him to play catch-up in the league's scoring race -- he now sits third in points behind Nathan MacKinnon (89) and Nikita Kucherov (94).

McDavid assisted on all three Edmonton goals in Thursday's 6-3 loss to St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
No big deal, McDavid just has nine assists in his last two games. The reigning MVP continues to do MVP things. During Edmonton's torrid 18-3 stretch since Dec. 21, McDavid has 10 goals and 39 points. There's little to criticize in his game, even if 10 goals in 21 games feels like a low number for the superstar. He has put up 78 shots in that run, which puts his goals slightly below his career shooting percentage of 15.4.

Over his last seven games, the 27-year-old has five goals and 13 helpers. McDavid is up to 21 goals, 56 assists, 159 shots on net, 71 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-22 rating through 47 contests overall.

McDavid racked up three assists, three shots on goal, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid facilitated the Oilers' third-period surge, setting up goals by Zach Hyman, Leon Draisaitl (on the power play) and Evander Kane (into an empty net). The three-assist game gave McDavid 50 helpers on the year. He's piled up 12 points during his five-game point streak and now has 71 points, 155 shots on net, 66 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-18 rating through 45 outings overall. McDavid hasn't finished lower than 63 helpers in any season since 2016-17, so he can be expected to continue making plays at an elite level.

EDGE Analysis
McDavid opened the scoring early, scoring just 4:35 into the game on a 2-on-0 rush.

McDavid is up to 21 tallies, 68 points, 152 shots on net, 61 hits and a plus-16 rating through 44 appearances. He's earned 25 power-play points, and his marker Tuesday was his first shorthanded point in 2023-24 after he had seven of them last year.

McDavid scored his 20th goal of the season and added three assists, two on the power play, in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
The Oilers have won 16 straight games, one short of the all-time NHL record, and McDavid has gotten onto the scoresheet in 15 of them, erupting for nine goals and 26 points over that stretch. He's gaining ground rapidly in the race for the Art Ross Trophy -- McDavid is tied with J.T. Miller for fourth with 67 points, but it could still be tough to catch Nikita Kucherov's 85 points on the other side of the All-Star break.

This was McDavid's first multi-point effort since Jan. 2 when he put up five points against the Flyers, and Thursday also marked his second two-goal game this season. The superstar is up to 19 tallies, 63 points, 139 shots, 58 hits, 24 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 42 appearances.

McDavid scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid saw a 12-game point streak snapped versus the Flames on Saturday, but his goal Tuesday allowed him to avoid a multi-game drought. The 27-year-old has six goals and 19 points during the Oilers' 14-game winning streak -- while still strong numbers, that shows the team hasn't been reliant solely on offense from its star players. The tally put McDavid at 60 points (22 on the power play) with 132 shots on net, 57 hits and a plus-13 rating through 41 appearances this season.

McDavid put up a power-play assist, five shots on goal and four PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid started out rough -- he had a turnover that led to a Kraken goal and two penalties in the first 22 minutes of the game. In the end, he salvaged the performance with a helper on Zach Hyman's insurance marker in the third. That extended McDavid's point streak and the Oilers' winning streak to 12 games each. The superstar center has 18 points during the streak and 59 points (22 on the power play), 125 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-12 rating through 39 outings overall.
