Leon Draisaitl reacted after his teammate Connor McDavid registered his 1,000th NHL point in his 659th game on Thursday, becoming the fourth-fastest player to do so, after Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy.

McDavid’s milestone includes 341 goals and 659 assists. His 1,000th point came against the Nashville Predators, with an assist from Draisaitl for a game-tying goal, as the Edmonton Oilers won 3-2.

Leon Draisaitl - who had two assists in the win - has always been a key partner for McDavid on the ice. However, he shifted the attention away from himself as his good friend joined an exclusive club of NHL players.
