He really is a pleasure to watch and if you’re at a game, just pay attention to him while he’s on the ice. The things he can do on the ice are incredible. Oh, and his speed is insane.
So how many of those 1001 points have been against the Columbus Blue Jackets?
McDavid has played in 17 games against the CBJ. In those 17 games, he’s scored 9 goals and added 21 assists for 30 points. His 30 points against the Jackets are the 15th most against any team he’s played. His plus-12 against the CBJ is the 6th best on his points list.
His 10 power play points are all assists. It’s kind of crazy how he has never scored a power play goal against Columbus.
In his last visit to Nationwide Arena, he only played one shift before getting hurt, so he wasn’t able to add to his total against Columbus.
He’ll get another shot at Columbus on December 5th in Edmonton.
What’s Next – The Blue Jackets return home on Friday night to play the Pittsburgh Penguins.
