McDavid is the first player to reach the century mark in points this season. He entered Friday with a 19-point lead over teammate Leon Draisaitl for the NHL scoring race.
The only seasons in which McDavid didn't reach 100 points were his rookie year in 2015-16 when he posted 48 in 45 games, and 2019-20 when he registered 97 in 64 contests.
This is the second-fewest amount of games McDavid has needed to reach 100 points, as he required just 53 in 2020-21.
McDavid is the 16th player in NHL history with at least six 100-point seasons, tying Sidney Crosby for the most among active players.
