The go-ahead goal was his 39th of the season and put Edmonton in front 3-2. He scored his 401st goal on an empty-netter with 7.5 seconds remaining that also gave him his 1,200th point. McDavid also has 799 career assists.
Evan Bouchard had three assists to give him 82 points as he joined Cale Makar, Erik Karlsson and Roman Josi as the only NHL defensemen to record multiple 80-point seasons since 2005-06.
To complete the milestone-rich contest, Edmonton's Ryan Nugent-Hopkins posted his 800th career NHL point with an assist in the first period on a goal by Roslovic, who had two scores. Matt Savoie scored a short-handed goal in the second.
Edmonton had 24 blocked shots and allowed just 18 shots on goal. Tristan Jarry made 16 saves.
The Oilers have won their last five games against the Mammoth and leapfrogged the Vegas Golden Knights (79-78 points) for second place in the Pacific Division as the playoff races heat up.
Alexander Kerfoot and Lawson Crouse scored for Utah. Vejmelka stopped 11 shots, but was replaced after the second period by Vitek Vanecek.
Utah's André Tourigny coached his 400th career NHL game (164-191-45).
Mammoth forward Barrett Hayton left in the first period with an upper-body injury and didn't return.
Oilers: Visit Vegas on Thursday night.
Mammoth: Host Washington on Thursday night to finish their four-game homestand.

The story has been corrected to reflect that McDavid’s first goal was his 39th of the season, not his 40th.

POITIERS, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 25, 2026--
Agileo Automation, a leading global provider of control and connectivity solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, today unveils Agil'EDA, a new software implementing Equipment Data Acquisition (EDA/Interface A). This solution enables semiconductor equipment manufacturers to meet the evolving high-performance connectivity requirements of tier-one fabs and advanced packaging facilities.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260323881880/en/
As semiconductor manufacturing moves towards higher levels of automation and data-driven optimization, fab owners increasingly require EDA alongside traditional SECS/GEM connectivity from OEMs for their production tools. Agil'EDA separates equipment control from data acquisition, ensuring that structured, high-frequency data collection does not interfere with critical equipment operations.
Designed for long-term deployment, Agil'EDA fully supports the widely used EDA Freeze 2 (SOAP/XML) and is architected for the transition to Freeze 3 (gRPC/protocol buffers). This next EDA freeze, expected in mid-2026, offers significantly higher data throughput and lower latency. Agileo successfully tested its Freeze 3 implementation at SEMI Standards Meetings in November 2024.
Incorporating robust cybersecurity features such as encrypted communications and authentication, Agil'EDA is available as a stand-alone solution for existing equipment software or as a pre-integrated component within Agileo’s A²ECF-SEMI framework. Combined with Agil'GEM and Agil'GEM300, it provides a comprehensive connectivity solution that significantly reduces time to market for OEMs.
"The key value for OEMs is a fast adoption path to a future-ready EDA architecture," explains Marc Engel, chief executive officer of Agileo Automation. "By integrating Freeze 3 requirements in Agil'EDA architecture from the start, we address OEMs’ current needs while preparing them for future semiconductor manufacturing requirements."
