McDavid dazzled Wednesday on Opening Night, scoring twice, adding an assist, and firing six shots on goal in a wild 7-4 victory over the visiting Flames.

EDGE Analysis

The Oilers' new captain didn't disappoint in the team's first game in their new arena, banging home a pair of goals just 2:16 apart in the second period -- the second of which held up as the game-winner. McDavid also received a whopping 23:27 of ice time (a game high among forwards), and finished with a plus-2 rating. After producing over a point per game (48 in 45 contests) in an injury-shortened rookie campaign, we'd expect many more nights like these from No. 97 as the Oilers continue to improve.

McDavid scored twice in Thursday's 5-2 preseason win over the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid had a strong night on special teams, opening the scoring on the power play in the first period before adding a short-handed tally early in the third. The youngest captain in NHL history looks ready to take on that responsibility in his second season with the Oilers. Expect him to end up near the top of the league in scoring for many years to come.

The Oilers have named McDavid captain. He's the youngest captain in NHL history.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid enters the season healthy and is poised to have a monster year after averaging over a point per game in his rookie campaign. Though he's just 19, the oddsmakers at Bovada have him with the fifth-best chance to be the league's MVP. He should quite easily be going near the top of every league's draft.

McDavid was named captain of Team North America for the World Cup of Hockey on Thursday, Pat Hickey of The Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a tremendous rookie campaign in which McDavid racked up 16 assists and 32 goals in 45 games for Edmonton, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft will now represent Team North America as captain in the WCOH. The 19-year-old center will join a crowd of 23-and-unders on the roster as the North Americans attempt to dethrone the tournament's last champion, Canada, who won in 2004.

McDavid notched 16 goals and 32 assists in 45 games for Edmonton in his rookie season.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid missed approximately half the season due to a broken collarbone, an injury that will likely cost him a chance to win the Calder Trophy, but was dynamic when in the lineup. He averaged over a point a game and his future is so bright, we should all wear shades. McDavid may not be a first round pick in fantasy drafts next season but he won't last long after either.

McDavid gave Oilers fans something to cheer about in the team's final home game of the season, stuffing the stat sheet with a goal, two assists, a plus-1 rating and five shots in a 6-2 victory over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid's phenomenal performance put an emphatic stop to a two-game pointless drought, giving the rookie 48 points in 44 appearances. He lived up to his billing as the top overall pick in this past draft when healthy, and the 19-year-old should have many crowd-pleasing performances ahead of him. Edmonton finishes the season with a road contest against these same disgruntled Canucks, meaning McDavid has a golden opportunity to close his rookie campaign out with a bang.

McDavid extended his point streak to seven games Saturday, scoring his 15th goal of the season and adding an assist in a loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

McDavid is finishing the season strong and has been great alongside Jordan Eberle on the second line. The 19-year-old rookie has 45 points in 41 games and hasn't gone more than two consecutive games without registering a point all season. The youngster is fantasy gold and a must-start every game despite the fact the Oilers are out of playoff contention.

McDavid tallied two assists and five shots on goal in a 4-2 loss to the Coyotes on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not netting a goal in his last six outings, McDavid has managed to record points in his last five games. The rookie has racked up seven assists in those five games. This has pushed his rookie season point total up to 42, with 14 goals and 28 assists. Should he be able to keep himself healthy, the 19-year-old will be a fantasy stalwart for years to come.

McDavid picked up a pair of power-play assists in Wednesday's 6-4 win over St. Louis.

EDGE Analysis

He struggled on faceoffs again -- that's been his biggest area of weakness -- but fantasy owners can hardly complain about what McDavid's done since coming back from a broken collarbone at the start of February. He's put up 26 points in 23 games as he continues developing into the NHL's next big thing.

McDavid scored the game-winning goal in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

After taking a backseat in the last couple games, McDavid turned it on when it mattered most on Thursday. He's now scored four goals and two assists in the last six games. With 35 points in 33 games this season, the 19-year-old continues to score at a pace of just over a point per game. At this pace McDavid could have easily been towards the top of the league in total points had it not been for his clavicle injury that put him on the shelf for 37 games earlier this season.
