McDavid is eligible to return to the lineup versus Seattle on Monday after serving his three-game suspension for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland on Jan. 18.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has accounted for 20 goals, 65 points, 131 shots on net, 26 hits and 29 PIM through 43 appearances this season. With McDavid back in the fold, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins may shift back to the wing after occupying the second-line center role, while Kasperi Kapanen could be a healthy scratch versus the Kraken.

McDavid was suspended for three games by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid was ejected and received a five-minute major late in the third period of Saturday's loss to the Canucks. This is the 28-year-old superstar's second career suspension -- he won't be able to return until Jan. 27 in a home matchup against the Kraken. Leon Draisaitl will move up to the top line in the short term, while Kasperi Kapanen should draw back into the lineup in place of McDavid.

The NHL Department of Player Safety announced Sunday that McDavid will have a hearing for cross-checking Vancouver's Conor Garland on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis

McDavid received a match penalty for cross-checking Conor Garland at the end of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
A match penalty requires an automatic review for supplemental discipline by the league. McDavid was likely already lucky to avoid a fine or suspension earlier in the week when he elbowed Marcus Johansson of the Wild in Wednesday's contest, but he may not be as fortunate this time around. McDavid has racked up five goals and six assists over his last seven appearances after picking up a power-play helper Saturday. If he's suspended, Leon Draisaitl would likely take over on the top line while a number of other forwards would pick up a little extra ice time to cover the absence.

McDavid scored twice on three shots, dished an assist and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid has four goals and four assists over his last five contests. The center's first goal, a power-play marker, tied the game at 2-2 late in the first period, and he added an insurance tally in the third. McDavid getting his goal-scoring touch back is massive -- he didn't score over a seven-game span between Dec. 21 and Jan. 4. Overall, the superstar is at 19 goals, 62 points (19 on the power play), 127 shots on net and a plus-12 rating through 41 appearances.

McDavid recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
The star playmaker was involved directly in each of the team's three goals in this loss, but his stellar efforts weren't enough to avoid the defeat. McDavid opened the 2025 calendar year with back-to-back pointless efforts, but he's bounced back with four points over his last two contests (one goal, three helpers). The 27-year-old world-class center is having another stellar season, putting up 27 points (four goals, 23 assists) since the beginning of December and 58 total points in 38 outings in the entire campaign.

McDavid scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-0 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid was sent in on a breakaway and made a couple of quick moves before snapping it on his forehand past Jeremy Swayman. It was his first goal in eight games and his first point in three. McDavid currently sits sixth in league scoring with 55 points (16 goals, 39 assists) in 37 games. His 1.49 P/GP is third in the NHL behind Nathan MacKinnon (1.61) and Nikita Kucherov (1.56).

McDavid registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid is now on an 11-game point streak, during which he's earned three goals and 20 assists. It's his longest streak of the year, and while it's playmaking-heavy, it's still good to see the superstar perform at a high level after the Oilers' slow start to the season. McDavid now has 15 goals, 39 helpers, 104 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 34 appearances this season. He's tied for third in the league in points (54) and trails only teammate Leon Draisaitl (56) and Avalanche superstar Nathan MacKinnon (61).
