McDavid registered three assists in Edmonton's 5-4 overtime win over LA in Game 4 on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid is on a three-game point streak, providing two goals and six points in that span. The Kings had some initial success against McDavid, but he's only gotten better as the series has progressed. While his first three points of the 2023 playoffs were all recorded on the power play, McDavid had two even-strength assists Sunday. His third helper of the night set up Evander Kane's game-tying goal late in the third period.

McDavid scored two power-play goals in Edmonton's 3-2 overtime loss to LA in Game 3 on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings were able to hold McDavid to just an assist over the first two contests of the 2023 playoffs, but the star forward can only be contained for so long. He was amazing during the regular season, providing 64 goals and 153 points in 82 outings, and should continue to find success in the playoffs. McDavid's efforts Friday couldn't save the Oilers though, so Edmonton is now trailing 2-1 in the first-round series, and will consequently be in a high-pressure situation in Game 4 on Sunday.

McDavid notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal and four hits in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Kings in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid ended the regular season on a 16-game point streak, but it was promptly snapped in Game 1 on Monday. The 64-goal scorer has now gone four contests without a tally, matching his longest drought of the season. While the Kings are keeping McDavid in check so far, Leon Draisaitl has five points through two games. It's tough to see McDavid staying quiet throughout the series -- he'll look to get back to his high-scoring ways in Friday's Game 3.

McDavid notched a power-play assist and seven shots on goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid again left his point streak on the line late. He set up Evan Bouchard's game-winning tally in overtime to keep the heater going at 15 games. During the streak, McDavid has 10 goals, 18 helpers and a plus-13 rating. It's his third streak of at least 15 contests this season, which has helped fuel his outstanding campaign. The superstar is up to 152 points (70 on the power play), 347 shots on net, 89 hits and a plus-22 rating through 81 contests. If he plays Thursday versus the Sharks -- which is likely since the Oilers have a chance to win the Pacific Division -- it would be the fourth time in eight campaigns he's played every game in a season.

McDavid scored two goals and added an assist in a 6-1 win over the Sharks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid got his 150th point Saturday, becoming the first NHL player to score that many in almost 30 years. The last player to hit that mark was Mario Lemieux, who had 160 for the Penguins in 1995-96. McDavid came into Saturday's game with 148 and picked up an assist on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins goal at 5:46 of the first. He then scored at 18:16 of the same frame to reach 150 before scoring again in the third. McDavid joins the 150-point club consisting of Wayne Gretzky, who hit 150 nine times, Lemieux (four), as well as Steve Yzerman, Phil Esposito and Bernie Nicholls (once each).
