This is logical company for greatness.

Connor McDavid's 2024-25 regular season wasn't just another dominant campaign; it was a historic chapter that placed him in a club with only one other member: "The Great One" himself, Wayne Gretzky. The Edmonton Oilers captain achieved a remarkable feat, scoring at least one point in every single one of his team's 41 victories this season.

This incredible consistency means the Oilers did not win a single game without a point from their superstar. In fact, when McDavid was held off the scoresheet, Edmonton's record was a stark 0-12-2. The only other player in the last century to pull off this "point in every win" accomplishment was Wayne Gretzky during his legendary 1980-81 season, a piece of history highlighted by analyst John Buccigross.

McDavid finished the year playing all 82 games, racking up 138 points (48 goals, 90 assists). He capped it off with a four-assist performance in a decisive 6-1 win over Vancouver, helping secure a favorable first-round playoff matchup. This marks his second-highest point total, trailing only his 153-point Hart Trophy season in 2022-23.

Now with 1,220 career points, McDavid continues to cement his legacy among the NHL's all-time elites. As the playoffs begin, all eyes are on him to lead the Oilers on another deep run, seeking to finally capture the Stanley Cup after two consecutive heartbreaking losses in the Final.
