Since January 5, 2018, McDavid has played 500 games. After four helpers last night, he has scored 287 goals and 536 assists for 823 points in those 500 games. That’s a 1.646 PPG for over 6 full seasons worth of games, in nearly 7 years of real-time passing, or the equivalent of a 135 point season/82 games.
He has done this while missing just 22 games during the run and while being rushed back and playing through nagging injuries during 2023-2024 in particular.
From what I can tell, like a lot of these point milestones and sustained runs of excellence, only Gretzky and Lemieux have scored more points over any 500 game stretch.
The closest players to him during this stretch are Draisaitl who has 108 fewer points while playing 17 more games. MacKinnon is the closest non-teammate, behind by 139 points while playing 22 fewer games. Panarin is next at 198 points behind while playing 8 fewer games, and Kucherov rounds out the top 5 at 207 points behind while playing 78 fewer games. Those leads range from 15-34% in total points and 13-30% in PPG.
During this close to 7 year run, he has added 1 Conn Smythe, 2 Harts, 3 Lindsays, 4 Art Rosses, 5 Hart Finalist nominations, 6 top 2 scoring finishes, and 7 top 2 PPG finishes.
Well on the way to a new Big Five.
