And just like that, Connor McDavid has already played 800 NHL games.
The three-time Hart Memorial Trophy winner hit that notable achievement on Tuesday, when the Edmonton Oilers faced the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif.
As usual, McDavid put on a show as the Oilers defeated the Kings, 4-1.
The 29-year-old forward started the game like a house on fire, scoring a goal and recording two assists in the first period alone. He added another assist in the third period for his fourth point of the evening.
After the game, McDavid reflected on his career milestone while teasing fans about what’s to come from one of the best ever to play the game.
“It’s been a fun ride. Hard to imagine 800 games, but I’ve got a lot of runway left and a lot of games left. A lot of good times ahead,” McDavid told Gene Principe of Sportsnet.

The Oilers selected McDavid with the first overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft. He’s clearly living up to the hype that came with him. But over a decade into his career, McDavid is still chasing his first Stanley Cup title.
He and the Oilers have reached the Stanley Cup Final twice but fell short both times. They appear to be strong Cup contenders again after opening the season by putting together a 4-0-1 record through their first five games.
In his career to date, McDavid has 413 goals and 824 assists for 1,237 points.
