McDavid Hits 100 Points as Oilers Humiliate Kings in 8-1 Statement Win
The Edmonton Oilers didn’t just win, they sent a message and it came loud and clear in Los Angeles.
Connor McDavid has done it again. The Oilers captain reached the 100-point mark for the ninth time in his career and he did it in dominant fashion during an 8-1 demolition of the Los Angeles Kings. This wasn’t just another milestone night. It was a statement performance from a team that desperately needed one.
Edmonton Oilers came into this game trying to snap a four-game skid. There were questions about momentum, about consistency and about whether this group could reset after the Olympic break. They answered all of it in one explosive night.
Connor McDavid scored his 35th goal of the season and added an assist, pushing him to that historic 100-point plateau yet again. Only a handful of players in NHL history have reached that level of sustained excellence. And McDavid keeps making it look routine.

Right alongside him, Leon Draisaitl buried his 30th goal of the season and finished with four points. The chemistry between these two superstars remains one of the most dangerous forces in hockey. When they’re in sync, the Oilers are almost unstoppable.
On the other side, it was a night to forget for the Los Angeles Kings . They’ve now dropped five straight games and frustration is boiling over. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper was pulled early after surrendering four goals and fans inside the arena made their feelings known, chanting for change behind the bench.
This game unraveled quickly. Edmonton scored twice within a minute in the first period, then piled it on in the second. By the time McDavid capitalized on a wide-open net after a defensive breakdown, the result felt inevitable. The Kings looked shaken and the Oilers looked ruthless.
And this matters beyond one night in February. These two teams have built a playoff rivalry in recent years, with Edmonton eliminating Los Angeles in four straight postseasons. If they meet again, this game will linger in memory. Confidence can shift a series before it even begins.
For the Oilers, it’s about momentum. Thirteen goals in two games since the break suggest this offense is heating up at exactly the right time. For the Kings, serious questions now surround defensive structure, goaltending stability and leadership under pressure.
McDavid continues to redefine greatness and Edmonton just reminded the league what it’s capable of when fully engaged.
