McDavid's recent averages of 0.48 goals, 1.16 assists and 3.5 shots per game set a high bar, and Thursday's performance cleared it. He added 24:19 of ice time, well above his 23:13 average, and logged 3:29 per game on the power play. He ranks fifth among all Oilers skaters in power-play time.

The process grade of 91 out of 100 among forwards reflects strong shot volumes, scoring chances and ice time, indicators that his production should hold up. The Oilers have four games remaining this week, on Thursday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. McDavid averages 0.6 hits and 0.3 blocks, with 0.59 power-play points per game.

What to do

• Start McDavid in all formats with four games remaining this week.

• Do not expect a repeat four-point night every time out, but his underlying play supports his elite averages.

• Keep McDavid in lineups for all four of the Oilers' remaining games on Thursday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.
