Leon Draisaitl had two goals, including the overtime winner, and Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists to move one point shy of 1,000 for his career as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Islanders 4-3.

Connor McDavid (1G, 3A) led the Oilers with four points, while Draisaitl (2G) and Evan Bouchard also scored for the Oilers. Ilya Sorokin stopped 38-of-42 shots in the loss, with Stuart Skinner stopped 19-of-22 in the win. Despite the OT loss, the Islanders extended their point streak to four games (2-0-2).

Up on the plains of Alberta, they are waiting for history and it nearly came on Tuesday night. Specifically, they are waiting to see Connor McDavid reach 1,000 points — and become the fastest player to do so since Canadian teams were winning Stanley Cups regularly.

In a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory over the New York Islanders, the Edmonton Oilers leaned on their superstar duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl to put on an incredible display.
