Leon Draisaitl is the latest member of the NHL's 1,000-point club, and his Edmonton Oilers teammates pulled out all the stops to celebrate.

Edmonton Oilers superstar forward Leon Draisaitl became the first German player to score 1,000 points on Tuesday night.

I wish we played them two or three weeks ago when they were struggling,” joked Marco Sturm about facing the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

With one victory secured to open a five-game homestand that leads into the NHL's holiday break, the Boston Bruins get ready for another Western Conference test as they welcome the surging Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

In the NHL, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid floats all boats. Every year-end summary includes iconic goals, a points per 60 over 2.5, and a five-on-five goal share well over 50 percent. Add in power-play totals, and McDavid’s numbers annually touch the very outer marker of NHL performance.

One storyline that has not been talked about too much this season is the Edmonton Oilers captain, Connor McDavid. What was noticeable at the start of the year was that McDavid was slow to find his game and get back to his offensive self.

With Connor McDavid gifting the Oilers with a cap-friendly two-year extension that kicks in after this season. Basically, all of the $4 million, or so, he graciously left on the table each year to help the Oilers in their quest for a Stanley Cup, will be eaten up by Frederic’s whale of a deal.

The Edmonton Oilers’ search for a three-game win streak continues. On Sunday evening, the Oilers played their second of five games on the road, falling 4-1 to the Montréal Canadiens to move their record to 15-12-6.
