Fittingly, Connor McDavid was able to record his 1,000th point in a game that the Edmonton Oilers won by a 3-2 final.

McDavid became the 999th player to reach the 1,000-point plateau in NHL history. Only legends Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy have reached the mark faster. The Oilers star has lived up to the billing that was advertised for him when he first came into the league as the first overall pick in the 2015 draft.

Connor McDavid became the fourth-fastest NHL player to reach 1,000 points, scoring early in the second period during the Edmonton Oilers' game against the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.
