McDavid Hits 99 in NHL Game | Edmonton Oilers News

Connor McDavid just shattered a digital milestone—becoming the first NHL player ever to earn a perfect 99 overall rating in EA Sports’ NHL video game series. It’s a rare honor, especially since other sports games like NBA 2K and Madden routinely hand out 99s, but never before in hockey. This accolade follows another elite season for McDavid, who tallied 48 goals and 138 points in 82 games—even as his Oilers team battled inconsistency. For Edmonton fans, it’s a glimmer of hope amid years of near-misses in the Stanley Cup Finals. With a new two-year window to win it all and a roster overhaul including big signings like Andersen and Levi, the pressure is on McDavid—and the Oilers—to deliver. If they fall short, the superstar may soon be weighing free agency, making this one of the most pivotal moments in modern NHL history.
