The Edmonton Oilers<\/a>‘ superstar remains the best player on the planet, and he’s also one of the best players in franchise history.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, McDavid tied an impressive franchise record.<\/p>\n

The mark: seasons with at least 25 goals.<\/p>\n

McDavid scored his 25th goal of the 2025-26 season on Saturday night, making it his 10th season of at least that many goals.<\/p>\n

That’s tied with Jari Kurri for the most such seasons in Oilers history.<\/p>\n

McDavid signed a two-year extension before this season got underway, which means he’ll have a great chance to break this record in the years to come.<\/p>\n

For now, it’s just a reminder of his absolute greatness.<\/p>\n

There have been few hockey players ever like McDavid. The Oilers have been reaping the rewards of his brilliance for a decade.<\/p>\n
