In the 2025 Stanley Cup Final, McDavid leads all players with 31 points (six goals, 25 assists) in games, while Draisaitl is close behind with 27 points (nine goals, assists) Their on-ice chemistry has been on full display, with McDavid setting up Draisaitl for critical goals—including a highlight-reel power-play winner in Game and another jaw-dropping assist in Game against the Florida Panthers..

What sets this postseason apart is not just their scoring, but a new commitment to defense and team play. Head coach Kris Knoblauch has kept McDavid and Draisaitl on separate lines for much of the series, allowing the Oilers to balance their attack and rely less on a single line for offense This strategic shift has helped the team reach new heights, while McDavid and Draisaitl continue to factor in on the same playoff goals more than any other duo this year.

With the series tied and the Oilers chasing their first Stanley Cup since 1990, all eyes remain on McDavid and Draisaitl to see if their historic run will finally end with hockey’s ultimate prize.
