100 In 56 For Two?

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal at the Edmonton Sun,

As the folks from the BarDown website point out, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have more points (43) than the entire Anaheim roster (41) which speaks to the brilliance of the Edmonton Oilers supernovas and the California club’s popgun offence.

McDavid has 22 points, 17 in the past seven games, and Draisaitl has 21, off his six-assist night, the first by an Oiler player in 34 years going to Wayne Gretzky in 1987.

That’s two points a night on average, so can they do the unthinkable and hit 100 in 56 games? Be the first since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96 to average at least two points a game when he racked up 161 points in 70 games for Pittsburgh?
