McDavid posted an assist with two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss against the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid was making his first-career postseason appearance. The Oilers started out well with two quick goals despite the big-time pressure of playing in the first-ever playoff game at their new arena, their first postseason contest in nearly a decade and Wayne Gretzky looking on. McDavid needs to take a lot more than two shots on goal if the Oilers are going to avoid a quick exit against the experienced Sharks.

McDavid picked up a goal and a power-play assist Thursday in San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
Just another day at the office for McDavid, who has seven goals and 15 assists during his 12-game point streak. That recent scoring binge has allowed the 20-year-old forward to reach the 30-goal mark with two games to spare. With consecutive opportunities to beat up on the lowly Canucks to close out the season, McDavid's chances of racking up the three points he needs to get to 100 are looking good.

McDavid factored in all three of Edmonton's goals Saturday, scoring one goal and adding two assists. The points extended his scoring streak to 10 games (six goals, 13 assists).
EDGE Analysis
McDavid is running away with the scoring title with 94 points, some seven points more than his nearest competitor (Patrick Kane). Not bad for a 20-year-old.

McDavid scored a goal and added a helper in a 3-2 win over the visiting Sharks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old also fired five shots on goal and skated to a plus-2 in what was quite a statement against division rival San Jose. McDavid is having one of the best seasons in recent memory, as his 91 points are seven more than Sidney Crosby for the league lead, and his plus-26 rating is third among all forwards. Perhaps most impressively, even though McDavid has racked up 63 assists -- which is also the most in the league -- the elite disher sits 21st with 230 shots on goal, as well, showing that he really can do it all.

McDavid opened the scoring in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Kings with his 27th goal.
EDGE Analysis
The lone assist on McDavid's goal went to Leon Draisaitl, simultaneously extending both players' point streaks to eight games. The 20-year-old captain is starting to run away with the scoring title, as he holds a seven-point lead over Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane and Nicklas Backstrom with 89.

McDavid dished out two assists Thursday against the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
Both of McDavid's helpers came on goals by Jordan Eberle, who replaced Leon Draisaitl on his right wing for the final frame. The line shuffling by coach Todd McLellan certainly worked, helping his team avoid an embarrassing loss to last-place Colorado with a five-goal third period. McDavid's recent surge has given him a cushion in the scoring race, as he sits six points up on both Sidney Crosby and Patrick Kane.

EDGE Analysis
The 20-year-old just wont...stop...scoring. His 85 points pace the NHL by four over Sidney Crosby, his plus-23 rating is sixth among forwards, and his 59 assists lead the league, too.

McDavid assisted on both goals in a 2-0 win over the Kings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid wasted no time in continuing his quest for the NHL scoring title, setting up both the Oilers' tallies -- one of which came on the power play -- in the game's first 12:47. The 20-year-old now has an eye-popping 82 points this year, two more than the Penguins' Sidney Crosby, and continues to delight fantasy owners lucky enough to own the 2015 first-overall pick.

McDavid sniped his 25th goal of the season to take over the NHL scoring lead Saturday against Vancouver.
EDGE Analysis
It was a wicked shot from McDavid, who was credited with his sixth game-winning goal of the season. His three-game point streak has helped him become the first player this year to reach the 80-point plateau. His speed and skill make him one of the most dangerous players in the league and he's simply a must-start every game. But you already knew that.

McDavid dished out three helpers -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
McDavid entered action sitting one point behind Patrick Kane for the league lead, and finishes the night tied at the top with Brad Marchand after each picked up three points. The second-year center came in on a season-long four-game assist drought, but snapped the skid in style with his first three-helper effort since Dec. 1. He has 40 goals and 84 assists in 114 career appearances.
