McDavid's hot start the most productive for Oilers since Gretzky

Oh hey look, Connor McDavid has provided another reason to attach his name to Wayne Gretzky's.

McDavid bagged his sixth point of the season as the Edmonton Oilers swept their season-opening home-and-home series with the Calgary Flames on Friday night, becoming the first Oilers player since Gretzky in 1987-88 to collect six-plus points through two games, according to NHL Public Relations.

The early NHL scoring leader claimed another goal on a beautiful backhand deke during a breakaway try - using a different move on Brian Elliott than the one he scored with on a penalty shot in the season opener - also adding assists on goals from Jordan Eberle and Leon Draisaitl.

Edmonton is 2-0 for the first time since 2010.
