Or that his Oilers are making their first and only regular-season visit to Toronto on Saturday, when friends and family from his hometown of Newmarket, 35 miles north of Scotiabank Arena, will be on hand to watch Edmonton face the Toronto Maple Leafs as part of Hockey Night in Canada’s national broadcast (7 p.m. ET; CBC, SNO, SNP, NHLN).

Edmonton's Connor McDavid gets to work on his next 1,000 points Saturday night when the Oilers visit the Toronto Maple Leafs. McDavid reached 1,001 career points when he had a goal and an assist as the Oilers defeated the visiting Nashville Predators 3-2 in overtime on Thursday night.

This performance brought McDavid to the verge of becoming the 99th player in NHL history to reach 1,000 points. With just 658 games played, McDavid is set to be the fourth-fastest player to achieve the milestone, trailing only legends Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Mike Bossy.
