The Edmonton Oilers (21-16-6) and Connor McDavid (28 goals and 47 assists) visit the Winnipeg Jets (15-21-5) and Kyle Connor (20 goals and 29 assists) at Canada Life Centre on Thursday, Jan. 8 at 8 p.m. ET, airing on ESPN+. Edmonton secured a 6-2 home victory over the Nashville Predators in its last game on Jan. 6.

Connor McDavid led the Edmonton Oilers to a dominant 6-2 victory over the Nashville Predators, marking his 75th point of the 2025-26 season and extending his impressive point streak. His 14th career hat trick propelled him past Mark Messier on the Oilers' all-time list.

“The Edmonton Oilers and NHL will honour Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl for scoring 1,000 career points in advance of the team’s matchup against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, January 10 at Rogers Place,” the Oilers said in a press release.

This in from the Oilers, news that centre Adam Henrique will be out until after the Feb. 6-to-24 Olympic break ends.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is not only among the best players but also among the richest players in the NHL. His income is a multi-million-dollar deal, profitable endorsements, and a lavish personal wardrobe.

After the loss, head coach Kris Knoblauch addressed concerns about the lack of depth scoring. A reporter pointed to McDavid’s long point streak and asked what lines three and four must do to help. Knoblauch admitted the issue goes beyond simple shot volume.
