Oct. 6 (UPI) -- The Edmonton Oilers signed Connor McDavid to a two-year, $25 million contract extension, the team announced Monday.

The All-Star center, who joined the Oilers as the top pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, signed an eight-year, $100 million contract in 2017. He was to hit free agency next off-season.

"Connor's commitment to our team and our city is surpassed only by his singular focus of bringing a Stanley Cup back to fans of the Edmonton Oilers," Oilers general manager Stan Bowman said in a news release.

McDavid, a five-time scoring champion and three-time MVP, totaled 26 goals and 74 assists for 100 points over 67 appearances last season. He logged 32 goals and a league-high 100 assists for 132 points in 2023-24.
