This ceremony is set to happen on December 5th prior to the Columbus Blue Jackets game.
This milestone marks a huge achievement in Connor McDavid's career. in 658 NHL games, and of the 98 playerswho have reached the 1,000-point plateau, only Wayne Gretzky (424), Mario Lemieux (513) and Mike Bossy (656) have done it faster.
Connor McDavid is never to type of person to boast about personal accolades or achievements, but this is a unique situation.
This awards ceremony will have an added element of sentiment attached as it will be presented in front of fans at Rogers Place -- and i'm sure there's a huge standing ovation coming his way.
Oilers Central would like to send another well deserved congratulations to Connor McDavid on this incredible milestone.
