John Tavares and Chris Tanev prepare to face Connor McDavid as the Edmonton Oilers visit the Toronto Maple Leafs. McDavid recently became the fourth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 1,000 career points, achieving this milestone in just 659 games.

Tavares reflects on McDavid's early career pressures, noting the unique challenges of social media. Meanwhile, Tanev trains with McDavid each summer, emphasizing the importance of competing against top talent to improve.

With Auston Matthews sidelined due to injury, the Leafs will need to rely on teamwork to counter McDavid's exceptional skills.
