It is always a big deal when a player hits an even hundred in any offensive category or games played. Some of these, like passing 500 or 1000 in any stat, are cause for major celebration.
Last season, we got to see some of our favourite Edmonton Oilers pass a few huge milestones. The biggest, of course, was Connor McDavid recording his 1000th career NHL point in a game against the Nashville Predators on November 14.
Do we have any impending milestones of this significance that we will need to start planning the celebrations for? Let’s review what milestones Edmonton Oilers players could hit in 2025–26.
Edmonton Oilers approaching games played milestones
Let’s start with the easiest stat to accumulate, games played. For a healthy player, almost every other season will land them on another multiple of 100, meaning this is a milestone to celebrate frequently. These current Oilers could be celebrating a games played milestone this season.
Is there any better goal celebration than seeing the light go on and having the spotlight shine on a player as their teammates gather around to celebrate hitting a goal milestone? It is the most impactful milestone to hit for that reason. Here are some Oilers looking to reach new heights in goal scoring this season.

The helping hand is often overlooked, and sometimes we might not even realize a player has recorded a milestone assist until we’ll past the goal. Maybe it would help if we had a prepared list of players to be on the lookout for.

Edmonton Oilers approaching points milestones
The ultimate offensive category, points. This is how players get ranked and evaluated. This is the biggest offensive milestone a player can strive to. We saw McDavid hit the quadruple digit milestone last season, and we may be set to see another one in 2025–26.

With this all laid out now, we can keep track of who is approaching key career statistical milestones. And a major takeaway from this? Leon Draisaitl is set to have a memorable season as he approaches 800 games, 400 goals, 600 assists, and 1000 points.
