If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NHL Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers. This is the second year that we have done this, and Edmonton’s Connor McDavid won the first one.
To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at when the first player cracked 40 Points, and tell all of you the top ten. We will this going forward with every update as the first player breaches the elevated ten-point threshold afterward.
Here is the current top ten, based on the first player to breach 110 Notinhalloffame Cup Points:
1. Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers. 113 Cup Points: 58 Games, 44 G, 61 A, 105 P, +4, 11.9 PS. (#1 on last update)
Connor McDavid is running away with every major statistical category, and recently became the fifth fastest player to score 800 career Points. Last year’s Notinhalloffame NHL Cup winner is extending his lead and he is currently the league-leader in Goals (44), Assists (61), Points (105) and Point Shares (11.9). The Hart is his to lose.
2. David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins. 96 Cup Points: 56 Games, 41 G, 36 A, 77 P, +27, 10.4 PS. (#3 on last update)
Pastrnak returns to the second hole, but there is a bigger gap between number one and number two than ever before. He currently is leading the NHL in Shots (270), is second in Goals (41) and fifth in Points (77).
3. Jack Hughes, New Jersey Devils. 90 Cup Points, 53 Games, 35 G, 36 A, 71 P, +12, 8.9 PS. (#2 on last update)
Hughes falls one spot, but the two-time All-Star in fifth in Goals (35), ninth in Points (71), and is the offensive leader of what has been a surprisingly good New Jersey squad. Notably, Hughes has not added anu Cup Points since the last update.
4. Mikko Rantanen, Colorado Avalanche. 85 Cup Points: 55 Games, 36 G, 30 A, 66 P, +3, 7.8 PS. (#4 on last update)
Rantanen holds at #4, and is also fifth in Goals (34). Like Hughes, Rantanen, did not add any Cup Points since the last update.
5 (Tie). Linus Ullmark, Boston Bruins. 82 Cup Points: 36 Games, 29-4-1, 1.88 GAA, .937 Save Percentage, 9.3 PS. (Not on last update)
Ullmark returns to where he belongs in the top ten, as he has been the best Goalie this year. He is currently the league leader in Wins, GAA and Save Percentage.
5 (Tie). Nathan Mackinnon, Florida Panthers, 82 Cup Points: 57 Games, 28 G, 50 A, 78 P, +16, 8.6 PS. (#5 on last update)
Tkachuk has been on fire and proving Florida right in their pursuit of the power forward. He is currently sixth in Assists (50) and fourth in Points (78).
5 (Tie). Matthew Tkachuk, Florida Panthers, 82 Cup Points: 57 Games, 28 G, 50 A, 78 P, +16, 8.6 PS. (#5 on last update)
Tkachuk has been on fire and proving Florida right in their pursuit of the power forward. He is currently sixth in Assists (50) and fourth in Points (78).
8 (Tie). Brady Tkachuk, Ottawa Senators, 81 Cup Points: 56 Games, 24 G, 36 A, 60 P, -6, 6.6 PS. (not on last update)
For the first time, the Tkachuk brothers are both in the top ten, and while his Senators have disappointed, he has not.
9 (Tie). Brayden Point, Tampa Bay Lightning. 80 Cup Points: 56 Games, 33 G, 28 A, 61 P, +4, 7.2 PS. (#5 on last update)
Point is having a good year, and is a point-per-game player, there are still quite a few players with higher point tallies than the Tampa Center. Saying that, Point has been the most clutch player for the Lightning, and a reason we love this process! He is currently tenth in Goals (33).
9 (Tie). Jake Oettinger, Dallas Stars. 80 Cup Points: 43 Games, 23-8-9, 2.24 GAA, .925 Save Percentage, 9.4 PS. (#9 on last update)
In his third season, Oettinger is playing the best hockey of his life and is fourth in the NHL in GAA.
Edmonton’s Leon Draisaitl, Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson and Dallas’s Jason Robertson fell off the top ten.
Our next update will occur when the first player breaks 120 Cup Points.
