The Edmonton Oilers are one of the best teams in all of hockey at this time. Connor McDavid is driving this team along at a historic clip. On Wednesday night in Calgary, he added more history to his long list of accomplishments.

McDavid provided an assist on Edmonton's first goal of the game. This means he has an assist in all of Edmonton's 13 games this year. This is a new NHL record assist streak to open a season, according to Sportsnet Stats.

McDavid went on to add another assist to his ledger on Wednesday. The Oilers won 4-0 over Calgary, bouncing back from a loss to the Detroit Red Wings in their last contest. Edmonton's captain, meanwhile, is zeroing in on another bit of NHL history.

The record for fastest player to 50 points in a single season is 18 games. This was done by Wayne Gretzky, who did so in 1983-84. McDavid is currently on pace for about 50 points in 18 games right now. However, at his current rate, he could certainly set a new record in the coming days.

It's been an incredible start from the Oilers captain. He has Edmonton at 9-2-2 after this win over the Flames. He is currently on pace for over 230 points this year. This would shatter the NHL's all-time single-season record.

The Oilers have their sights set on winning the Stanley Cup. They came up short in the Final both in 2024 and 2025, and failed to reach the Final in 2026. They want to change that this season. With how McDavid is playing, they certainly have a chance to do so.
