Connor McDavid's future with the Edmonton Oilers is uncertain, with his next move set to shape the NHL franchise's path.

Ekholm has been one of the best all-around defencemen in the NHL since the Oilers acquired him from Nashville on Feb. 28, 2023. The Oilers have a 64 goals-for percentage with him on the ice at five-on-five over that span. They have a 53 goals-for percentage under the same scenario this season.

Connor McDavid continues to do Connor McDavid things. During Thursday night's contest against the Nashville Predators, the Edmonton Oilers forward found himself in an odd-man rush with linemate Leon Draisaitl flanked on his side and buried a puck past goalie Scott Wedgewood.

Oilers superstar captain Connor McDavid explained what the best part of reaching the 1,000-point threshold was.

McDavid had one of the worst months of his career in October, with just 3 goals and 10 points in 10 games before leaving a game against Columbus with an ankle injury on October 28th. At the time, there was real concern that the injury might hold him out for an extended period and potentially torpedo the Oilers' season.

As Connor McDavid approaches the opportunity to sign a contract extension with the Edmonton Oilers next summer, Pierre LeBrun reports that the superstar’s focus is clear: winning trumps everything.
