What happened: McDavid reached 17 points through six games to open the 2026-27 season. Four of those points came in his 800th career game on Oct. 14.

Why it matters: Averaging 2.83 points per game builds early separation in the league scoring race. That rate keeps triple-digit point pace in view if maintained through October.

By the numbers: 17 points in 6 games (2.83 per game); 4 points in 800th career game Oct. 14.

What to watch: Watch whether McDavid stays above two points per game through the next week of games.
