QUICK STAT: McDavid became the seventh player in franchise history to reach the 800-game mark, joining Kevin Lowe (1,037 GP), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (1,031 GP), Ryan Smyth (971 GP), Leon Draisaitl (861 GP), Mark Messier (851 GP) and Glenn Anderson (845 GP).
His 1,236 career points (413G, 823A) are the third most in NHL history by a player through their first 800 games in the league behind only Wayne Gretzky (1,892 – Dec. 2, 1989) and Mario Lemieux (1,580 – Jan. 12, 2002).
11:44: EDM GOAL | Vasily Podkolzin (PP) - Connor McDavid, Evan Bouchard
STAY HOT, PODZY! The Russian has already scored his SIXTH goal of the season by finishing McDavid's rebound on the power play after Drew Doughty was guilty of tripping Kasperi Kapanen to send the Oilers to their first man advantage.
McDavid and Bouchard mirrored their contributions on Draisaitl's opening goal, with both getting two assists to give the Oilers an early 2-0 lead before the 10-minute mark. A dream start for Edmonton in their quest to finish the perfect road trip. EDM 2, LAK 0
