Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid can still win the point scoring race this year.

Edmonton Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner cannot be relied on for 70+ starts this year. The last goalie to do that for the Oilers - or any other team - was 2016-17 Cam Talbot.

Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers isn't human - or at least his production is so out of this world that he seems like an alien.

His incredible production is only increasing the longer he is in the NHL. That abnormal pace has continued into this season.

In 20 games this year McDavid has 29 points. However, 16 of those 29 points have arrived over the last six games.

That's a 2.66 points per game average. I broke down the numbers in the latest episode of Striking Oil. Skip ahead to the 2:54 of the video below to hear my thoughts:

If this happened, it would be an incredible rate of production. Some may think that's not reasonable.

If anyone in this league can do it, it's McDavid.
