In the latest match, McDavid's exceptional performance, which included his 10th career five-point game with 1 goal and 4 assists, led the Oilers to their sixth consecutive victory with a final score of 5-2 against the Philadelphia Flyers. McDavid finished the night with a total of 903 points. The top line, consisting of McDavid, Hyman (1 goal, 2 assists), and Nugent-Hopkins (2 goals, 1 assist), was particularly effective, combining for 11 points.
