Connor McDavid scored twice in the Edmonton Oilers' 5-2 victory over Utah, reaching 401 career goals and becoming the fifth Oilers player to hit the 400-goal mark. The star forward, known for his elite speed and playmaking, expressed surprise at his scoring prowess, telling reporters he focuses on shooting more pucks this season. His teammate Jack Roslovic appeared incredulous when asked if he agreed McDavid isn't a natural scorer, calling it 'no comment.' McDavid's milestone came after a 3-2 lead goal in the second period and an empty-netter late, pushing his total to 1,200 career points, the third-fastest in NHL history behind Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.

He needs just one assist to reach 800 points.
