McDavid recorded an assist and three hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Canadiens. He also won all seven of his faceoffs.
EDGE Analysis
Obviously, McDavid is much more well-known for his scoring. He's already posted five points and 16 shots on net through three games. The 24-year-old had gone 14-for-30 at the dot entering Saturday, and his career faceoff rate stood at 44.1 percent. Don't expect the dominance on the draws to continue -- he'll more than make up for it on the scoresheet.

McDavid netted a hat trick on nine shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
That's more like it. McDavid was held pointless in Wednesday's season opener, but he came back with a vengeance Thursday. It's the 13th four-point game of his already illustrious career. Fantasy managers don't necessarily expect this on a nightly basis, but it's well known the 24-year-old superstar can sometimes win a game all by himself. He'll turn his attention to the Canadiens on Saturday and Monday.

McDavid (COVID) is skating with Auston Matthews ahead of the 2020-21 season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid is back on the ice following his COVID-19 diagnosis back in October as he prepares for the upcoming season. This past year was the first time the world-class center failed to reach the 100-point threshold since his rookie campaign, when he played just 45 games. There is no reason to think McDavid can't produce at that level again in 2020-21, and he should be a near-lock for the No. 1 pick in redraft formats, though teammate Leon Draisaitl could also be in the mix.

The Oilers announced that McDavid (illness) tested positive to COVID-19 and is currently self-quarantining.
EDGE Analysis
So far, it sounds like Edmonton's captain has experienced very mild symptoms which is a great sign. McDavid will likely self-quarantine until he's able to provide a negative test result. Barring a drastic change, this shouldn't affect his status for next season.

McDavid supplied two assists and four hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blackhawks in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid had a hand in both of the Oilers' goals Friday, but for the third time in four games, it wasn't enough. McDavid added five tallies and four helpers in the playoffs to his 34-goal, 97-point campaign in the regular season. It's a virtual lock the 23-year-old will go in the top-3 of fantasy drafts for season-long formats in 2020-21.

McDavid scored a power-play goal in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Blackhawks in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid's tally with eight seconds left in the second period gave the Oilers their first, and ultimately only, lead of the game. The superstar center has been in fine form with five goals and two helpers in the series so far.

McDavid posted a hat trick in Monday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Another game, another three points for McDavid, with the hat trick being the first of the superstar's postseason career. The 23-year-old is exploiting all the weaknesses in the Blackhawks' defense and penalty kill -- one of his goals Monday came on the power play. He's recorded six points in two games, a blazing start to the postseason.

McDavid scored a goal and added two assists, all on the power play, in a 6-4 loss to Chicago in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Qualifiers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid was dominant on the power play, but absolutely dominate in the face-off circle. Jonathan Toews schooled the young stud, leaving the young stud with just a handful of face-off wins (4-of-12). McDavid came into Game 1 looking like he was on a mission and three points are great. But the team around him need to tighten their shin pads and play a better team game, or the Oil could be watching this tournament from home. Game 2 is Monday.

McDavid was voted the league's best forward by his peers in the NHLPA player poll.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid put together another impressive 97-point campaign prior to the league hiatus, though he still trailed teammate Leon Draisaitl for the league lead. If the league is forced to jump right into the postseason or if the rest of the season gets outright canceled, the world-class center will miss the 100-point threshold for just the second time in his career, the other being his rookie campaign in which he racked up 48 points in 45 contests. McDavid received 68.35 percent of the vote followed by Sidney Crosby (14.93), Nathan McKinnon (6.65) and Nikita Kucherov (2.88).

McDavid (illness) scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid sat out Monday's clash with Vegas but looked awfully health in his first game back Wednesday. He drove to the net and out-waited Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck for his 34th goal of the season late in the second period to tie the game at 2-2. Despite missing a handful of time due to injuries and illness in 2019-20, McDavid has 97 points in 64 games and is closing in on the century mark for the fourth year in a row.
