A rested and determined Connor McDavid is a nightmare for opposing NHL teams and a joy to behold for Edmonton Oilers fans. His ascent up the NHL all-time scoring charts has been quick and lethal. His four-point night gave him 1,237 points, which ranks 45th all-time. He will pass Peter Stastney (1,239 in 977 games) later this week and will move ahead of Steven Stamkos (1263), Jean Ratelle (1267), Al MacInnis (1274), Alex Delvecchio (1281), Jarome Iginla (1300), Anze Kopitar (1316), Gilbert Perreault (1326), Pierre Turgeon (1327), Mike Gartner (1335), Denis Savard (1338) and Dave Andreychuk (1338) before the end of the year and rank 34th all-time. By the end of next season, he should be ranked among the top 20 scorers of all time, but he’ll only be at 960 games (maximum) by then. Every player in the top 20, except Mario Lemieux, played at least 1279 games. Some might get bored hearing about McDavid’s accolades, but you shouldn’t. You are witnessing an incredibly gifted player who could surpass 2,200 points. Yes, 2,200. For me, 2,000 is a lock, unless some freak injury occurs, and McDavid looks the best he ever has early on this season.

Line change lights scoring fuse for Canadiens winger Josh Anderson - Montreal Gazette
With 23 goals overall through seven games this season, it’s no secret the Canadiens are seeking more offence that will lead to improved results. That captain Nick Suzuki has four goals is no surprise. Neither should anyone be shocked that Cole Caufield — who scored a team-leading 51 goals last season — has three, along with Zachary Bolduc, who is historically a fast starter.

Senators G Ullmark says dominant start hasn’t come easy: ‘It’s always a battle every night’ - TSN
OTTAWA — Eight games is a small sample size but there’s no denying the Ottawa Senators are playing with confidence. The Senators improved to 6-2-0 after posting a 2-1 shootout win over the New York Islanders Thursday night. Perhaps most impressive, and not coincidental, is the play of Linus Ullmark who is 6-0 on the season with a .949 save percentage. Going back to last year, Ullmark is riding a 10-game winning streak. When mentioned to Ullmark, he shook his head as though it was strange to string wins from two seasons together. However, he said he’s feeling pretty good but still has a few things to clean up. “It’s always a battle every night,” admitted Ullmark. “Always a grind. Good players, good teams can’t really relax at any point during the game and that’s why I say it’s up and down.”It’s a far cry from the goaltender who started last season looking like he was battling every puck. Ullmark was 2-3-1 after six games last season having allowed 23 goals. He’s given up seven so far.
