Connor McDavid inching closer to 1,000 point club

Connor McDavid, the star player for the Edmonton Oilers, is on the cusp of joining the exclusive 1,000-point club in the NHL. With 850 career points under his belt, McDavid aims to become the third-fastest player in history to achieve this milestone.

The legendary Wayne Gretzky holds the record for the fastest, accomplishing it in just 424 games, followed by Mario Lemieux at 513 games. While McDavid has played 569 games, he has a shot at surpassing Mike Bossy, who reached 1,000 points in his 656th game.

McDavid's career average of 1.49 points per game leaves him 20 points shy of tying Bossy, but he has been steadily improving his performance over the past four seasons.

The 26-year-old is coming off a remarkable season, winning the Rocket Richard Trophy with 64 goals and claiming his fifth Art Ross Trophy with 153 points. He joined a select group of six players who have surpassed the 150-point mark in a season.

Even Sidney Crosby, a fellow NHL star, acknowledges that McDavid's ability to reach new levels is extraordinary. McDavid has the potential to reach even higher point totals, with some speculating he could hit 170 points.

Wayne Gretzky, the all-time leader with 2,857 points, remains the only player to surpass 2,000 points in NHL history. McDavid's trajectory suggests that he may have a chance to follow in the footsteps of "The Great One" in the years to come.
