Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid is currently five points away from hitting the 1,000-point milestone. At his current pace, McDavid will become the fourth-fastest player to achieve the vaunted mark.
The tremendous achievement has drawn plenty of admiration from fans and the media, but in particular, from his long-time teammate and friend, Leon Draisaitl.
Draisaitl recently spoke with the media, making his feelings known about Connor McDavid milestones. Here’s what Draisaitl said, according to Sportsnet:
“I don’t think there's been a player like him before. I don’t think there's a player that can create out of nothing like him, ever, in hockey,” Draisaitl said. “Getting to a thousand points at his age and with how few games he's played, it’s a little mind-blowing at times to see him break all these records.”
