Connor McDavid

McDavid's three-assist night gives fantasy managers exactly what they roster him for, but his value was priced in before this game. He averages 1.64 points per game in his recent sample, with 0.48 goals and 1.16 assists. He posts 3.5 shots per game and 0.59 power-play points per game, logging 23:13 a night overall and 3:29 with the man advantage. He ranks fifth among all Edmonton skaters in power-play ice time.

His process score of 91 out of 100 among forwards reflects strong shot generation, scoring chances and ice time, suggesting his production should hold. The Oilers have three games left this week on Thursday, Saturday and Monday. McDavid remains essential in all formats, and Tuesday's performance shows the same output as his recent sample without changing his roster calculus.

What to do

• Keep Connor McDavid in all lineups for Edmonton's three remaining games this week.

• His elite averages and process score make him a set-and-forget option in every format.
