Connor McDavid scored early in the second period in the Edmonton’s 3-2 overtime victory against the Predators.

Connor McDavid joining Wayne Gretzky as the only player to score 2,000 points is much more likely than you might think.

With the goal, the 27-year-old became the 99th player to reach 1,000 points and the fourth-fastest to get there, accomplishing the feat in 659 games (341 goals, 660 assists). Only Wayne Gretzky (424 games), Mario Lemieux (513), and Mike Bossy (656) did it faster.
