The Oilers came out with a win despite blowing a third-period lead in an overtime thriller against the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. And wouldn't you know it, Connor McDavid led the charge. No spoilers, but keep in mind that McDavid came into Tuesday's game just five points away from 1000 for his career.

Leon Draisaitl had two goals, including the overtime winner, and Connor McDavid had a goal and three assists to move one point shy of 1,000 for his career as the Edmonton Oilers beat the New York Islanders 4-3.

McDavid, who is now back on a point-per-game pace with 13 in 13 after what was an allegedly slow start to his season, was nothing short of brilliant in recording eight shots on goal, three assists and a highlight-reel backhand goal against the Islanders.
