McDavid needs six points Saturday night to tie Gretzky’s 50-points in 18 games record

“Records were made to broken.“

That’s what people say, but did we ever think someone would come close to Wayne Gretzky’s 50-points in 18 games?

Connor McDavid enters Saturday with 44 points in his opening 17 games. He needs six points against the Vancouver Canucks to tie Gretzky’s record, which has stood alone since 1984.

McDavid is -14000 on FanDuel to register at least one point tonight, and -215 to log at least two.

McDavid enters Saturday night with at least one point in all 17 games with just five of those being non-multipoint nights.

“It’s incredible. He’s a tremendous young man, he’s obviously a great hockey player, and what he’s doing is truly remarkable,” Gretzky said of McDavid’s start to the season on Friday. “Today the athletes, and I say this with a great deal of respect, as time goes on, the equipment gets better, the athletes get bigger and better, the game gets better, and it’s all positive. And what he’s doing now is remarkable.”

The most points FanDuel has to offer on a player is three, with McDavid +158 to pick up his seventh three-point game of the season.

McDavid’s 2.59 points per game pace through the opening 17 games is 0.71 higher than any other season he has had.

The 29-year-old opened the season with one goal and five assists in a 9-7 win over the Canucks, a parlay of McDavid to score once with at least three assists is currently +711 on FanDuel.
