gold star for USAHOF

Connor McDavid wins our third annual Notinhalloffame NHL Regular Season Cup

Connor McDavid wins our third annual Notinhalloffame NHL Regular Season Cup
29 Apr
2023
Not in Hall of Fame

It is with great pleasure that we announce the third annual Notinhalloffame NHL Regular Season Cup, and let us explain how this works:

With every single regular season game, we anointed the best five players in the game with descending points, 5-4-3-2-1.

We knew the following:

-       The top players for the NHL NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points easier that elite players on loaded squads.

-       Please remember, that this is NOT necessarily who we think were the best players this year, and does not reflect overall consistency. Treat this the way did, as a fun process and more of a compilation of temporary statistical domination.

A whopping, 8108 players received at least one point (two less than last year), with 16 cracking at least 100 (three less than last year).  

So, NHL players! Get your agents to work winning this into your contracts!

1. Connor McDavid: Edmonton Oilers, Center:

166 Cup Points, 82 Games, 2.02 Cup Points per Game, 64 Goals, 89 Assists, 153 Points, +22, 36 PIM, 40 Blocked Shots, 89 Hits, 82 Takeaways, 77 Giveaways, 18.1 Point Shares. (Last Year #1)

Wow. Just, wow. Repeating as the Notinhalloffame NHL Cup winner is Connor McDavid, who had the most explosive season in this generation, and the future first-ballot Hall of Famer just completed his most impressive regular season in hockey and will undoubtedly win another Hart Trophy. He led the NHL in Goals for the first time (64), Assists for the third (89) and Points (153) for the fifth, meaning he is now a five-time Art Ross winner. McDavid also topped the NHL in Point Shares (18.1), Offensive Point Shares (15.8) and is the first player in over twenty years to break 150 Points. As he is still well under 30, McDavid should clear out more space in his trophy room for what will come next.

2. (Tie) David Pastrnak: Boston Bruins, Right Wing

147 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.79 Cup Points per Game, 61 Goals, 52 Assists, 113 Points, +34, 31 Blocked Shots, 91 Hits, 52 Takeaways, 109 Giveaways, 15.1 Point Shares. (Last Year #13)

In any other year over the past ten seasons, Pastrnak would probably win the Hart, but second to McDavid for that and the Notinhalloffame Cup is perfectly fine. The Czech sniper became only the second Bruin (joining Phil Esposito) to net 60 Goals in a campaign, and again, only McDavid lit the lamp more. He was still the league-leader in Even Strength Goals (43), Game-Winning Goals (13) and Shots (407) while finishing third in Points (113) and second in Point Shares (15.1). Pastrnak added a third All-Star Game this year, and months from now will become a two-time First Team All-Star.

3. Nathan MacKinnon: Colorado Avalanche, Center

140 Cup Points, 71 Games, 1.97 Cup Points per Game, 42 Goals, 69 Assists, 111 Points, +29, 30 PIM, 40 Blocked Shots, 53 Hits, 43 Takeaways, 47 Giveaways, 13.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #24)

MacKinnon posted his first 100-plus Point year, doing so in a campaign where he missed over ten Games. The Avs Center, who led all 2022 Playoff skaters in Goals (13) and Shots (117) added a sixth All-Star, was fifth in Points (111) and tenth in Point Shares (13.0). He was also hird in Points per Game (1.56).

4. (Tie) Linus Ullmark: Boston Bruins, Goalie:

124 Cup Points, 49 Games, 2.53 Cup Points per Game, 40 Wins, 6 Losses, 1 Ties/Overtime Losses, .938 Save Percentage, 1.89 Goals Against Average, 13.1 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #98)

Did you see this coming? Neither did we. Ullmark is this year’s best Goalie, and there is no way possible that he won’t win the Vezina. He lef the NHL in Wins (40), Save Percentage (.938) and GAA (1.89) and the only negative you could say about him is that he plays less than most first string Goalies. Of course, Boston’s backup is Jeremy Swayman! We don’t know if this is a one-off of greatness, or the harbinger of things to come, but let’s enjoy the Bruins Goalie tandem of 2022-23. Notably, Ullmark also was an All-Star for the first time this season.

4 (Tie). Mikko Rantanen: Colorado Avalanche, Right Wing

124 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.51 Cup Points per Game, 55 Goals, 50 Assists, 105 Points, +15, 82 PIM, 41 Blocked Shots, 77 Hits, 61 Takeaways, 45 Giveaways, 12.8 Point Shares. (Last Year, #19)

Over the last four months, it alternated between Colorado and Boston as to who would have the first two players to rank in Cup Standings. How fitting is it that we are tied for that! Mikko cracked over 100 Points and 50 Goals for the first time, and added his second All-Star since 2019. Rantanen was also third in Goals (55) and eighth in Points (105).

6. Jason Robertson: Dallas Stars, Left Wing:

118 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.44 Cup Points per Game, 46 Goals, 63 Assists, 109 Points, +37, 20 PIM, 19 Blocked Shots, 57 Hits, 62 Takeaways, 66 Giveaways, 13.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #32)

Robertson continued his upward progression with his first 100-Point year and his first All-Star appearance. Now the top player for the Stars, Robertson was seventh in Goals (46) and sixth in Points (109).

7. Matthew Tkachuk: Florida Panthers, Right Wing:

117 Cup Points, 79 Games, 1.48 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 69 Assists, 109 Points, +29, 31 Blocked Shots, 68 Hits, 38 Takeaways, 62 Giveaways, 12.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #10)

Florida got everything they expected when they traded for Tkachuk, who set career-highs in Assists (69) and Points (109), finishing sixth in the latter statistic. Tkachuk was also an All-Star for the second straight year.

8. Jack Hughes: New Jersey Devils, Center

115 Cup Points, 78 Games, 1.47 Cup Points per Game, 43 Goals, 56 Assists, 99 Points, +10, 6 PIM, 30 Blocked Shots, 12 Hits, 60 Takeaways, 85 Giveaways, 11.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #86)

While New Jersey’s good season was a surprise, Jack Hughes breakout was not. The young American was eighth in Goals (43) and is now a two-time All-Star.

9. (Tie) Elias Pettersson: Vancouver Canucks, Center

113 Cup Points, 80 Games, 1.41 Cup Points per Game, 39 Goals, 63 Assists, 102 Points, +16, 14 PIM, 89 Blocked Shots, 74 Hits, 56 Takeaways, 47 Giveaways, 10.9 Point Shares.  (Last Year, #65)

Pettersson is the bright spot on an abysmal Canucks team, and the former Calder winner had his best year by far, besting his previous best by 34 Points with his first three-digit tally. He led the NHL in Shorthanded Goals (5), became an All-Star for the third time, and was tenth in Points (102) and Assists (63).

10. (Tie) Brady Tkachuk: Ottawa Senators, Left Wing:

110 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.34 Cup Points per Game, 35 Goals, 48 Assists, 83 Points, -10, 126 PIM, 9 Blocked Shots, 242 Hits, 30 Takeaways, 51 Giveaways, 8.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #34)

Tkachuk improved to the point where he nearly topped his brother, Matthew, and at one time was ahead of him in Cup Standings. Ottawa got him more players to surround him, but that did not include a Goalie! The younger Tkachuk is the best player with over 100 Penalty Minutes and 200 Hits, and he was third overall in the former stat. He also was fourth in Shots (347) and he was an All-Star for the second time this year.

11 (TIE). Leon Draisaitl: Edmonton Oilers, Center:

109 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.33 Cup Points per Game, 52 Goals, 76 Assists, 128 Points, +7, 24 PIM, 40 Blocked Shots, 66 Hits, 77 Takeaways, 102 Giveaways, 13.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #4)

The 2020 Hart and Art Ross Trophy winner actually had more Points this season (128 to 110), and was second behind only his teammate, Connor McDavid. Draisaitl led the NHL in Power Play Goals and was third in overall Goals (52). Draisaitl often missed out on Cup Points to McDavid.

11 (TIE). Brayden Point: Tampa Bay Lightning, Center:

109 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.33 Cup Points per Game, 51 Goals, 44 Assists, 95 Points, +2, 31 PIM, 37 Blocked Shots, 37 Hits, 51 Takeaways, 45 Giveaways, 11.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #133)

Point scored 92 Points in 2018-19 but it took until this year for him to come close to that, and he did in fact, exceed it with 95, an his first 50-Goal year. The Lightning Center was fifth in Goals (51), third in Power Play Goals (20), fifth in Game-Winning Goals (9) and seventh in Even Strength Goals (31).

13. Juuse Saros: Nashville Predators, Goalie:

109 Cup Points, 64 Games, 1.70 Cup Points per Game, 33 Wins, 23 Losses, 7 Ties/Overtime Losses, .919 Save Percentage, 2.69 Goals Against Average, 14.9 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #9)

For the second consecutive season, Saros led the NHL in Goalie Point Shares (14.9) and was also first in Saves (1,928) and Minutes Played (3,810). The workhorse ended the year eighth in Save Percentage, and went to his second straight All-Star Game.

14. Auston Matthews: Toronto Maple Leafs, Center:

105 Cup Points, 74 Games, 1.42 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 45 Assists, 85 Points, +31, 20 PIM, 92 Blocked Shots, 78 Hits, 68 Takeaways, 55 Giveaways, 10.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #2)

Matthews did not replicate his Hart Trophy winning performance of last year, but he had a very good year, with his fourth consecutive 40-Goal year. Within his team, he was third in Points, but led his squad in Shots (327) and Point Shares (10.6). This might seem like a step back, but mainly because he was so potent last year.

15. Jake Oettinger: Dallas Stars, Goalie:

104 Cup Points, 62 Games, 1.69 Cup Points per Game, 37 Wins, 11 Losses, 11 Ties/Overtime Losses, .919 Save Percentage, 2.37 Goals Against Average, 12.7 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #101)

The ascendence of Oettinger continues, and though the third-year player was not an All-Star, his stats show that he should have been. Oettinger finished third in Wins (37), sixth in Save Percentage (.919) and seventh in GAA (2.37). He is on a cusp of stardom.

16 (TIE). Erik Karlsson: San Jose Sharks, Defense:

99 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.21 Cup Points per Game, 25 Goals, 76 Assists, 101 Points, -26, 36 PIM, 90 Blocked Shots, 33 Hits, 81 Takeaways, 101 Giveaways, 12.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #325)

Erik Karlsson was a two-time Norris winner, but offensively, has not had a 60-Point season since 2017-18, with a previous high of 82 (2015-16). With only 97 Points in his last three years, Karlsson scoring 101 Points was a shocker, and bluntly the only thing that Sharks fans had this year. He led all Defenseman in Scoring and Cup Points, and was an All-Star, giving him seven.

16 (TIE). Connor Hellebucyk: Winnipeg Jets, Goalie:

99 Cup Points, 64 Games, 1.55 Cup Points per Game, 37 Wins, 25 Losses, 2 Ties/Overtime Losses, .920 Save Percentage, 2.49 Goals Against Average, 14.3 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #49)

The Winnipeg Jets fought their way into the final spot in the Western Conference playoffs, with Hellebucyk the principal reason the made it. The former Vezina winner went to his third All-Star Game and was third in Wins (37), second in Saves (1,807), fifth in Save Percentage (.920) and second in Goalie Point Shares (14.3). Where would Winnipeg be without him?

18 (TIE). Igor Shesterkin: New York Rangers, Goalie:

98 Cup Points, 58 Games, 1.70 Cup Points per Game, 37 Wins, 13 Losses, 8 Ties/Overtime Losses, .916 Save Percentage, 2.48 Goals Against Average, 11.8 Goalie Point Shares

The reigning Vezina winner was an All-Star for the first time and finished third in Wins (37) and was tenth in both Save Percentage and GAA.   

18. (Tie) Sidney Crosby: Pittsburgh Penguins, Center:

98 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.20 Cup Points per Game, 33 Goals, 60 Assists, 93 Points, +18, 52 PIM, 47 Blocked Shots, 71 Hits, 59 Takeaways, 67 Giveaways, 9.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #36)

The Hart Trophy days of Crosby is behind him, but he is still a great player.  Notably, he joined the 1,500 Point club this year, and he added a fifth All-Star Game appearance.

20. (Tie) Nikita Kucherov: Tampa Bay Lightning, Right Wing

94 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.12 Cup Points per Game, 30 Goals, 83 Assists, 113 Points, -2, 36 PIM, 28 Blocked Shots, 61 Hits, 57 Takeaways, 98 Giveaways, 10.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #58)

Healthy for the entire season, Kucherov played close to his 2018-19 Hart Trophy-winning form with his third triple digit Point year. Kucherov went to his fourth All-Star, concluding the season second in Assists and third and Points. His teammate, Brayden Point, took a few Cup Points away from him through the season, but that is how this process can work!

21. (Tie) William Nylander: Toronto Maple Leafs, Center:

92 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.12 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 47 Assists, 87 Points, +10, 26 Blocked Shots, 18 Hits, 70 Takeaways, 37 Giveaways, 10.0 Point Shares. (#22 Last Year)

For the second year in a row, Nylander set personal bests in Goals, Assists and Points. Nylander can often get lost in Auston Mathews’ shadow, but don’t sleep on this player’s talent. (Last Year, #26)

22. Kirill Kaprizov: Minnesota Wild, Left Wing:

93 Cup Points, 67 Games, 1.39 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 35 Assists, 75 Points, +4, 35 PIM, 28 Blocked Shots, 66 Hits, 50 Takeaways, 54 Giveaways, 9.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #23)

Kaprizov is the top star for the Wild, although his third season saw a production drop of 33 Points (though he also played 14 less Games). He may not have scored 100 Points this year, but bank on him doing it again. Kaprizov also added his second All-Star this season.

23. John Tavares: Toronto Maple Leafs, Center:

91 Cup Points, 80 Games, 1.14 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 44 Assists, 80 Points, -7, 34 PIM, 36 Blocked Shots, 112 Hits, 46 Takeaways, 54 Giveaways, 8.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #158)

A First Team All-Star in 2014-15 as an Islander, Tavares compiled his second 80-Point Year (fifth overall) as a Maple Leaf. He was sixth in the NHL in Power Play Goals with 18, his career best.

24. Mika Zibanejad: New York Rangers, Center:

88 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.07 Cup Points per Game, 39 Goals, 52 Assists, 91 Points, +25, 20 PIM, 48 Blocked Shots, 71 Hits, 57 Takeaways, 67 Giveaways, 10.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #42)

Last year, Zibanajad broke 80 Points for the first time, and this year he breached 90! Zibanajad also had career highs in Point Shares (10.6) and Power Play Goals (20).

24. (Tie) Timo Meier: San Jose Sharks & New Jersey Devils, Right Wing:

88 Cup Points, 78 Games, 0.89 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 26 Assists, 66 Points, -19, 43 PIM, 37 Blocked Shots, 154 Hits, 58 Takeaways, 65 Giveaways, 7.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #26)

Meier was traded from San Jose to New Jersey this year, and the Swiss Wing secured his first 40-Goal year.

24 (TIE). Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tampa Bay Lightning, Goalie:

88 Cup Points, 60 Games, 1.47 Cup Points per Game, 34 Wins, 22 Losses, 4 Ties/Overtime Losses, .915 Save Percentage, 2.65 Goals Against Average, 12.7 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #39)

With a Vezina, a Conn Smythe and two Stanley Cup Rings on his ledger, Vasilevskiy led the NHL in Wins five years in a row, but was unable to add a sixth when he “only” finished sixth. Adding a fifth All-Star, Vasilevskiy was fifth in Saves this year (1,716).

27. Tim Stutzle: Ottawa Senators, Left Wing

87 Cup Points, 78 Games, 1.12 Cup Points per Game, 39 Goals, 51 Assists, 90 Points, -3, 54 PIM, 49 Blocked Shots, 114 Hits, 61 Takeaways, 62 Giveaways, 10.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #166)

It appears that Germany has another budding superstar hockey player in their midst with Tim Stutzle, who was Ottawa’s leading scorer.   Increasing his Points total from 58 to 90, Stutzle is a future All-Star.

28. (Tie) Tage Thompson: Buffalo Sabres, Center

85 Cup Points, 78 Games, 1.09 Cup Points per Game, 47 Goals, 47 Assists, 94 Points, +4, 39 PIM, 26 Blocked Shots, 55 Hits, 43 Takeaways, 40 Giveaways, 11.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #28)

Thompson made another significant jump in Points (and Cup Points) finishing three shy of 50 in both Goals and Assists. A future All-Star, Thompson was sixth in Goals (47), third in Power Play Goals (20) and had four Hat Tricks, sharing the league lead.

28 (TIE). Alexandar Georgiev: Colorado Avalanche, Goalie:

88 Cup Points, 62 Games, 1.42 Cup Points per Game, 40 Wins, 16 Losses, 6 Ties/Overtime Losses, .918 Save Percentage, 2.53 Goals Against Average, 13.4 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #190)

Backing up New York’s Igor Shesterkin last year, Alexander Georgiev became the top netminder for the defending champion, Colorado. It has been a good fit thus far for both parties, with Georgiev leading the league in Wins (40).

28. Roope Hintz: Dallas Stars, Left Wing

85 Cup Points, 73 Games, 1.16 Cup Points per Game, 37 Goals, 38 Assists, 75 Points, +31, 30 PIM, 45 Blocked Shots, 47 Hits, 28 Takeaways, 38 Giveaways, 9.9 Point Shares. 

Hintz had his second consecutive 70-Point year, and was sixth in the NHL in Shooting Percentage (20.1).

28. Ilya Sorokin: New York Islanders, Goalie:

85 Cup Points, 62 Games, 1.37 Cup Points per Game, 31 Wins, 22 Losses, 7 Ties/Overtime Losses, .924 Save Percentage, 2.34 Goals Against Average, 14.1 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #29)

A five-time KHL All-Star and now in his third year, Sorokin had a really good year, albeit on a team that treaded water.  The Islander with the most Cup Points, Sorokin was third in Save Percentage, sixth in GAA, and third in Goalie Point Shares.  Sorokin also became an All-Star for the first time this year.

32. (Tie) Sebastian Aho: Carolina Hurricanes, Center & Left Wing:

84 Cup Points, 75 Games, 1.12 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 31 Assists, 67 Points, +8, 21 Blocked Shots, 59 Hits, 63 Takeaways, 63 Giveaways, 8.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #34)

For the fourth time in his NHL career, Aho scored at least 30 Goals, and was fifth in Game-Winning Goals with 9. Aho’s numbers are more impressive considering the conservative style that the Hurricanes play. 

32. (TIE) Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Edmonton Oilers, Center:

84 Cup Points, 82 Games, 1.02 Cup Points per Game, 37 Goals, 67 Assists, 104 Points, +12, 35 PIM, 26 Blocked Shots, 48 Hits, 56 Takeaways, 31 Giveaways, 10.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #256)

Nugent-Hopkins was the First Overall Pick in 2011, but he ever became a superstar like many number ones do. He wasn’t a bust, but in some circles RNH was a mild disappointment…until now. Nugent-Hopkins had 104 Points this year (his previous high was 68) and was ninth in that stat. Nugent-Hopkins lost a few Cup Points playing on the same team as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but this is obviously minor in the grand scheme. 

34. Jordan Kyrou: St. Louis Blues, Center

83 Cup Points, 79 Games, 1.05 Cup Points per Game, 37 Goals, 36 Assists, 73 Points, 22 PIM, -38, 23 Blocked Shots, 6 Hits, 36 Takeaways, 32 Giveaways, 6.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #72)

St. Louis is in full rebuilding mode, with Kyrou the offensive piece they will construct around. Despite his Cup Points jump, the young Canadian had two fewer Points, but ten more Goals, and by the end of the year, was the only sniper the team had left.

35 (TIE). Mitch Marner: Toronto Maple Leafs, Right Wing

82 Cup Points, 80 Games, 1.03 Cup Points per Game, 30 Goals, 69 Assists, 99 Points, +18, 28 PIM, 45 Blocked Shots, 53 Hits, 104 Takeaways, 94 Giveaways, 10.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #22)

Marner bested last year’s career-high in Points by two, and he concluded the season fifth in Assists (69).

35 (TIE). Josh Morrissey: Winnipeg Jets, Defense

82 Cup Points, 78 Games, 1.05 Cup Points per Game, 16 Goals, 60 Assists, 76 Points, +2, 41 PIM, 119 Blocked Shots, 89 Hits, 36 Takeaways, 59 Giveaways, 11.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #305)

Winnipeg’s top Defenseman had an offensive explosion, increasing his previous high of 37 Points (last year) to 76. Like his Goalie, Connor Hellebucyk, the Jets are not in the playoffs without him.

38. (TIE) Jamie Benn: Dallas Stars, Left Wing

81 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.99 Cup Points per Game, 33 Goals, 45 Assists, 78 Points, +23, 34 PIM, 38 Blocked Shots, 97 Hits, 55 Takeaways, 48 Giveaways, 9.5 Point Shares. (Last Year #258)

Injured for most of last year, Benn was back in Dallas where the veteran took them back to the playoffs. The veteran had his first 75-plus Point year since 2017-18.

38. (TIE) Roman Josi: Nashville Predators, Defense

81 Cup Points, 67 Games, 1.21 Cup Points per Game, 18 Goals, 41 Assists, 59 Points, +5, 36 PIM, 133 Blocked Shots, 66 Hits, 48 Takeaways, 71 Giveaways, 9.9 Point Shares. (Last Year #20)

The 2020 Norris Trophy winner dropped significantly in Points from last year (96), but is still the anchor of the Predator’s defense and one of the game’s top blueliners.

38. (TIE) Dougie Hamilton: New Jersey Devils, Defense

81 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.98 Cup Points per Game, 22 Goals, 52 Assists, 74 Points, +23, 50 PIM, 86 Blocked Shots, 64 Hits, 21 Takeaways, 74 Giveaways, 12.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #226)

Hamilton just put forth his best season by far, shattering his previous best (50 Points in 2016-17) by 24 Points, and could be a Post-Season All-Star.

40. (TIE) Martin Necas: Carolina Hurricanes, Center

80 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.98 Cup Points per Game, 28 Goals, 43 Assists, 71 Points, +5, 32 PIM, 21 Blocked Shots, 57 Hits, 45 Takeaways, 65 Giveaways, 7.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #98)

The Czech Center improved his output, rising 31 Points from last year. With his youth and linemates, Necas should improve on this total next season.

40. (TIE) Claude Giroux: Ottawa Senators, Center & Left Wing

80 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.98 Cup Points per Game, 35 Goals, 44 Assists, 79 Points, +4, 34 PIM, 16 Blocked Shots, 48 Hits, 21 Takeaways, 26 Giveaways, 9.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #200)

Many were surprised that Claude Giroux signed with Ottawa, and though the veteran could not will the Sens to the playoffs, he had his most productive campaign since 208/19.

40 (TIE). Steven Stamkos: Tampa Bay Lightning, Center: 

80 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.99 Cup Points per Game, 34 Goals, 50 Assists, 84 Points, -5, 46 PIM, 51 Blocked Shots, 92 Hits, 25 Takeaways, 54 Giveaways, 8.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #12)

Stamkos never stops scoring, and though the two-time Rocket Richard winner is into his 30s, he is still one of Tampa’s most potent weapons.  An owner of two Stanley Cup Rings, Stamkos eclipsed 500 Goals and 1,000 Points this year.

40 (TIE). Alex Ovechkin: Washington Capitals, Left Wing:

80 Cup Points, 73 Games, 1.10 Cup Points per Game, 42 Goals, 33 Assists, 75 Points, -16, 48 PIM, 23 Blocked Shots, 188 Hits, 31 Takeaways, 52 Giveaways, 8.5 Point Shares. 

Ovechkin broke the 800 Goal mark this year and has Wayne Gretzky in his sight. He also added his ninth All-Star Game.

44. (Tie) Clayton Keller: Arizona Coyotes, Center

78 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.95 Cup Points per Game, 37 Goals, 49 Assists, 86 Points, -2, 49 PIM, 34 Blocked Shots, 18 Hits, 58 Takeaways, 63 Giveaways, 8.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #72)

The Arizona Coyotes may have a slew of issues, but that does not include Keller, who just broke his seasonal Points record by 9. If Arizona adds other potent Wings, Keller could become a 100-Point player.

44. (Tie) Kevin Fiala: Los Angele Kings, Left Wing:

78 Cup Points, 69 Games, 1.12 Cup Points per Game, 23 Goals, 49 Assists, 72 Points, +2, 52 PIM, 18 Blocked Shots, 53 Hits, 18 Takeaways, 37 Giveaways, 7.1 Point Shares. 

Fiala joined Los Angeles this year and the nine-year pro was 13 Points away from last season’s personal best of 85. He went to his first All-Star Game this year.

44. (Tie) Filip Gustavsson: Minnesota Wild, Goalie:

78 Cup Points, 39 Games, 2.00 Cup Points per Game, 22 Wins, 9 Losses, 7 Ties/Overtime Losses, .931 Save Percentage, 2.10 Goals Against Average, 9.8 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #339)

Gustavsson only appeared in 39 Games but he was just as good as the other part of Minnesota’s netminding tandem, Marc-Andre Fleury. He was second in GAA (2.10) and Save Percentage (.931) and it won’t be long before he is the top Goalie somewhere.

44. (Tie) Darcy Kuemper: Washington Capitals, Goalie:

78 Cup Points, 57 Games, 1.30 Cup Points per Game, 22 Wins, 26 Losses, 7 Ties/Overtime Losses, .908 Save Percentage, 2.87 Goals Against Average, 10.1 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #53)

Kuemper was in net when Colorado won the Stanley Cup last year, and he played in just as many games this season in Washington; though he had 15 less Wins. Stat-wise, he was not as good this year, but with less top teammates to absorb Cup Points, he finished higher in the standings.

48. (TIE) Bo Horvat: Vancouver Canucks & New York Islanders, Center

77 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.98 Cup Points per Game, 38 Goals, 32 Assists, 70 Points, -1, 18 PIM, 55 Blocked Shots, 57 Hits, 38 Takeaways, 37 Giveaways, 7.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #91)

Horvat was traded from the floundering Canucks to the Islanders during the season, to aid them in their playoff run, though he has not produced at the same level in a New York uniform. Nevertheless, Horvat reached 70 Points for the first time in his career.

48 (TIE). Brock Nelson: New York Islanders, Center

77 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.94 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 39 Assists, 75 Points, +13, 24 PIM, 43 Blocked Shots, 50 Hits, 48 Takeaways, 40 Giveaways, 9.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #63)

Nelson has emerged as New York’s top offensive stud, and though he is 31, just posted his best offensive year to date. He also had his first 200-plus Shot campaign (222).

48 (TIE). Jack Eichel: Vegas Golden Knights, Center

77 Cup Points, 67 Games, 1.15 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 39 Assists, 66 Points, +26, 6 PIM, 56 Blocked Shots, 59 Hits, 47 Takeaways, 54 Giveaways, 7.8 Point Shares. (Last Year, #256)

The playoff drought for Eichel ended this year, with the Center enjoying a taste of the postseason for the first time. Held to only 25 Points n 34 Games last year, Eichel was healthier and had his first solid campaign in three years.

52 (TIE). Artemi Panarin: New York Rangers, Left Wing

76 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.93 Cup Points per Game, 29 Goals, 63 Assists, 92 Points, +4, 11 Blocked Shots, 26 Hits, 36 Takeaways, 102 Giveaways, 9.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #15)

Panarin plummeted in the Cup Standings but his Point tally only dropped by four, though his Takeaway/Giveaway record (36/102) was poor. This is the third time in four seasons that he cracked 90 Points.

52. (TIE) Mark Scheifele: Winnipeg Jets, Center

76 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.94 Cup Points per Game, 42 Goals, 26 Assists, 68 Points, -17, 43 PIM, 38 Blocked Shots, 50 Hits, 61 Takeaways, 45 Giveaways, 7.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #98)

A Jet for all of his twelve seasons, Scheifele had seasons previously where he had more than the 68 he accrued this year, but this is the first time he broke 40 Goals. He also was ninth in Goals (42), but more impressively fourth in Game-Winning Goals (10).

54. Carter Verhaeghe: Florida Panthers, Center

75 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.94 Cup Points per Game, 42 Goals, 31 Assists, 73 Points, +10, 46 PIM, 31 Blocked Shots, 29 Hits, 35 Takeaways, 56 Giveaways, 8.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #200)

Verhaeghe had the same amounts of Assists (31) as last year, but he added 18 Goals, bringing this season’s total to 42, where he was ninth overall. More impressively, Verhaeghe was fourth in Even Strength Goals with 35.

55. Anze Kopitar: Los Angeles Kings, Center

74 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.90 Cup Points per Game, 28 Goals, 46 Assists, 74 Points, +20, 4 PIM, 71 Blocked Shots, 72 Hits, 48 Takeaways, 30 Giveaways, 5.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #58)

Kopitar is in the latter half of his career, but is still a productive two-way player who will likely receive some votes for the Selke.  He is a former Lady Byng and two-time Selke winner and has two Stanley Cup Rings, and his 74 Points is his highest total since 2017/18.

56 (TIE). Rasmus Dahlin: Buffalo Sabres, Defense

73 Cup Points, 78 Games, 0.94 Cup Points per Game, 15 Goals, 58 Assists, 73 Points, +12, 92 PIM, 132 Blocked Shots, 105 Hits, 45 Takeaways, 61 Giveaways, 10.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #158)

Dahlin had a rocket-like start to the season, growing 20 Points from last year’s total. The Defenseman went to his second straight All-Star Game, and should have many more in his future.

56 (TIE). Jared McCann: Seattle Kraken, Center

73 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.92 Cup Points per Game, 40 Goals, 30 Assists, 70 Points, +18, 14 PIM, 71 Blocked Shots, 72 Hits, 48 Takeaways, 30 Giveaways, 8.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #178)

The Center had a great year where he had his first 40 Goal and 70 Point year, 20 Points more than last year’s previous best.

58 (TIE). Jeff Skinner: Buffalo Sabres, Left Wing & Center

72 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.91 Cup Points per Game, 35 Goals, 47 Assists, 82 Points, +15, 29 PIM, 14 Blocked Shots, 21 Hits, 41 Takeaways, 46 Giveaways, 9.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #72)

Skinner won the 2011 Calder with 63 Points; a tally he reached three times after. This season, he finally broke that mark with 82 Points, with a +15, the first time he had a positive Plus/Minus.

58. (Tie) Tyler Toffoli: Calgary Flames, Center

72 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.88 Cup Points per Game, 34 Goals, 39 Assists, 73 Points, +16, 28 PIM, 14 Blocked Shots, 59 Hits, 41 Takeaways, 32 Giveaways, 8.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #175)

The previous season of Toffoli’s career was way back in 2015-16 when he had 58 Points and led the league in Plus/Minus (+35). That is no longer the case, as he set personal marks in Goals (34), Assists (39) and Points (73).

58. (Tie) Chris Kreider: New York Rangers, Left Wing

72 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.77 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 18 Assists, 54 Points, +21, 26 PIM, 24 Blocked Shots, 128 Hits, 31 Takeaways, 39 Giveaways, 10.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #13)

We mused that last season was going to be Kreider’s best year, and that will probably be the case. This is easily his second best season, and though he dropped significantly in Goals (52 to 36), it is still a good year.

61. Cale Makar: Colorado Avalanche, Defense

71 Cup Points, 60 Games, 0.92 Cup Points per Game, 17 Goals, 49 Assists, 66 Points, +16, 30 PIM, 78 Blocked Shots, 65 Hits, 50 Takeaways, 48 Giveaways, 10.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #43)

Makar is one of the many stars of the Avs, and he had the year of his life last season when he won the Norris and Conn Smythe in the same year, joining a club with only Bobby Orr as a co-member.  This year, the young defenseman missed to many games to win a Norris, but he was still one a of the few blueliners to average over a Point per Game. Makar also went to his second straight All-Star Game.

61. (TIE) Ville Husso: Detroit Red Wings, Goalie:

71 Cup Points, 56 Games, 1.27 Cup Points per Game, 26 Wins, 22 Losses, 7 Ties/Overtime Losses, .896 Save Percentage, 3.11 Goals Against Average, 7.7 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #93)

Husso is an example of a busy and competent Goalie on a non-playoff team, and though his GAA went up from last year (2.64 to 3.15), he appeared in 16 more Games.

63. (TIE) Jake Guentzel: Pittsburgh Penguins, Center

71 Cup Points, 78 Games, 0.91 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 37 Assists, 73 Points, +2, 46 PIM, 46 Blocked Shots, 83 Hits, 44 Takeaways, 48 Giveaways, 7.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #61)

Guentzel had his third 35-Goal campaign, and could have a few more in him if he remains healthy.  

64. Evgeni Malkin: Pittsburgh Penguins, Center

70 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.85 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 56 Assists, 83 Points, -12, 82 PIM, 33 Blocked Shots, 53 Hits, 82 Takeaways, 105 Giveaways, 7.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #61)

Malkin broke 80 Points for the first time in 2017-18, and the former Hart winner continues to add to his Hall of Fame resume.  

65 (TIE). Anders Lee: New York Islanders, Left Wing

69 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.84 Cup Points per Game, 28 Goals, 22 Assists, 50 Points, -3, 50 PIM, 57 Blocked Shots, 125 Hits, 25 Takeaways, 35 Giveaways, 5.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #166)

Lee concluded his 11th Season in the NHL, all of which as a New York Islander. This was the first time since 2018-19 that he scored 50 Points.

65 (TIE). Travis Konecny: Philadelphia Flyers, Center

69 Cup Points, 60 Games, 1.15 Cup Points per Game, 31 Goals, 30 Assists, 61 Points, -12, 77 PIM, 38 Blocked Shots, 55 Hits, 34 Takeaways, 26 Giveaways, 6.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #130)

Konecny had his first 30 Goal year, and the seven-year veteran appears to be hitting his stride. He was the Flyers leading scorer.

67 (TIE). Dylan Larkin: Detroit Red Wings, Right Wing

68 Cup Points, 80 Games, 0.85 Cup Points per Game, 32 Goals, 47 Assists, 79 Points, -7, 45 PIM, 27 Blocked Shots, 47 Hits, 56 Takeaways, 47 Giveaways, 8.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #67)

Larkin finished with the same rank as last year, though he improved his Point tally to 79, his new career-best. The Red Wing also went to his third All-Star Game.

67 (TIE). Zach Hyman: Edmonton Oilers, Left Wing

68 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.86 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 47 Assists, 83 Points, +13, 39 PIM, 19 Blocked Shots, 77 Hits, 33 Takeaways, 30 Giveaways, 8.8 Point Shares. (Last Year, #215)

Hyman had never had more than 54 Points in a season, but he shattered than in year 9 with 83.

69. Marc-Andre Fleury: Minnesota Wild, Goalie:

67 Cup Points, 46 Games, 1.45 Cup Points per Game, 24 Wins, 16 Losses, 4 Ties/Overtime Losses, .908 Save Percentage, 2.85 Goals Against Average, 8.2 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #46).

Despite being in his late 30s, Fleury remains in the upper bracket of netminders and played a large part of Minnesota’s success this year.

70 (TIE). Adrian Kempe: Los Angeles Kings, Left Wing

66 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.80 Cup Points per Game, 41 Goals, 26 Assists, 67 Points, +22, 50 PIM, 32 Blocked Shots, 119 Hits, 24 Takeaways, 39 Giveaways, 8.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #44)

Kempe dropped in Cup Points, but we said much earlier that this is a unique metric. He secured his first 40 Goal year, with a career-high 67 Points.

70 (TIE). Carter Hart: Philadelphia Flyers, Goalie

66 Cup Points, 55 Games, 1.20 Cup Points per Game, 22 Wins, 23 Losses, 10 Ties/Overtime Losses, .907 Save Percentage, 2.94 Goals Against Average, 9.9 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #133).

Carter Hart saw a lot of action for the sub-par Flyers, and while he was not in the top ten in any major statistics, he lowered his GAA to a respectable 2.94.

72 (TIE). Jordan Binnington: St. Louis Blues, Goalie

65 Cup Points, 61 Games, 1.07 Cup Points per Game, 27 Wins, 27 Losses, 6 Ties/Overtime Losses, .894 Save Percentage, 3.31 Goals Against Average, 8.4 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #133).

The Blues went into disposal mode this year, and while Binnington arguably did not have a great year, he was able to accrue a lot of Cup Points as he did steal Wins on occasion for St. Louis.

72. (TIE) Andrei Kuzmenko: Vancouver Canucks, Center

65 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.86 Cup Points per Game, 28 Goals, 29 Assists, 57 Points, +2, 21 PIM, 17 Blocked Shots, 76 Hits, 40 Takeaways, 30 Giveaways, 6.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, Not Ranked)

Vancouver was not very good this year, but they had a rare bright spot in Kuzmenko, who debuted in the NHL at age 26 after making a mark in the KHL. It was a good rookie year for Kuzmenko, who was one of the best offensive players the Canucks had, though it could be hard for him to duplicate. Notably, he led the NHL in Shot Percentage (27.3).

72. (Tie) Jonathan Marchessault: Vegas Golden Knights, Center

65 Cup Points, 76 Games, 0.86 Cup Points per Game, 28 Goals, 29 Assists, 57 Points, +2, 21 PIM, 17 Blocked Shots, 76 Hits, 40 Takeaways, 30 Giveaways, 6.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #53)

Marchessault had another good year, and was fortunate to have more help around him than he had last year. He did not make it to 30 Goals this year, but is a large reason that Vegas was the number one seed in the West.

75 (TIE). Alex Tuch: Buffalo Sabres, Right Wing

64 Cup Points, 74 Games, 0.87 Cup Points per Game, 36 Goals, 43 Assists, 79 Points, +14, 20 PIM, 46 Blocked Shots, 54 Hits, 64 Takeaways, 38 Giveaways, 9.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #200)

Tuch’s second season in Buffalo has been his best in the NHL. This is the Right Wing’s first season with over 35 Goals and 75 Points. Tuch was fifth in Game-Winning Goals (9).

75 (TIE). Matthew Boldly: Minnesota Wild, Left Wing

64 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.79 Cup Points per Game, 31 Goals, 32 Assists, 63 Points, +1, 26 PIM, 65 Blocked Shots, 51 Hits, 42 Takeaways, 74 Giveaways, 6.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #67)

Boldy is a native of Minnesota, and has done well in his brief time with the Wild. The second-year player, increased his production from 39 to 63 Points.

77 (TIE). Adam Fox: New York Rangers, Defense

63 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.77 Cup Points per Game, 12 Goals, 60 Assists, 72 Points, +28, 34 PIM, 125 Blocked Shots, 25 Hits, 88 Takeaways, 74 Giveaways, 11.9 Point Shares. (Last Year, #67)

Fox won the Norris two years ago, and will receive votes again this season. This was his second straight 70-Point year, third campaign with over 100 Blocked Shots, and he is one of the many blueliners hampered by the Cup Point structure, though this is still a good finish. Fox also added a second All-Star.

77 (TIE). Vitek Vanacek: New Jersey Devils, Goalie

63 Cup Points, 52 Games, 1.21 Cup Points per Game, 33 Wins, 11 Losses, 4 Ties/Overtime Losses, .911 Save Percentage, 2.45 Goals Against Average, 8.4 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #442)

Vanacek was a large part of New Jersey’s return to the playoffs and the Czech Goalie concluded the campaign seventh in Wins (33) and eighth in GAA (2.46).

77. (Tie) Alex DeBrincat: Ottawa Senators, Right Wing

63 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.77 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 39 Assists, 66 Points, -21, 45 PIM, 38 Blocked Shots, 109 Hits, 44 Takeaways, 39 Giveaways, 8.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #20)

DeBrincat was traded to Ottawa who were hoping for a playoff spot this year. It did not happen, and he was not as good in his first year as a Senator as he was in his last year as a Blackhawk.

77. (Tie) Pierre-Luc Dubois: Winnipeg Jets, Left Wing:

63 Cup Points, 73 Games, 0.86 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 36 Assists, 63 Points, +5, 77 PIM, 47 Blocked Shots, 71 Hits, 40 Takeaways, 47 Giveaways, 6.6 Point Shares. (Last Year, #115)

Dubois had his second straight 60-Point year and his third overall.

81. (Tie) Brad Marchand: Boston Bruins, Left Wing:

62 Cup Points, 73 Games, 0.85 Cup Points per Game, 21 Goals, 46 Assists, 67 Points, +27, 74 PIM, 22 Blocked Shots, 81 Hits, 42 Takeaways, 84 Giveaways, 7.0 Point Shares. (Last Year, #40)

Marchand dropped 13 Points from last year, and appears to be in decline, but the four-time postseason All-Star is a great leader and still better than most of the league.

81. (Tie) Patrice Bergeron: Boston Bruins, Center

62 Cup Points, 78 Games, 0.80 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 31 Assists, 58 Points, +35, 22 PIM, 54 Blocked Shots, 66 Hits, 38 Takeaways, 21 Giveaways, 7.0 Point Shares. 

Bergeron has already accomplished so much as a Stanley Cup Champion, five-time Selke winner, a Mark Messier Leadership Award winner, but he has a lot left as shown by doing this year what he has always done for the last sixteen. Notably, Bergeron joined the 1,000 Point Club this year.

81 (TIE). Nazem Kadri: Calgary Flames, Center

62 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.76 Cup Points per Game, 24 Goals, 32 Assists, 56 Points, -19, 56 PIM, 31 Blocked Shots, 99 Hits, 34 Takeaways, 50 Giveaways, 4.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #45)

Kadri had the most incredible campaign of his life in 2021-22, winning a Stanley Cup and setting personal bests. The now 14-year veteran could not post similar numbers in his first year in Calgary, but it was a solid debut in Southern Alberta.

81 (TIE). Stuart Skinner: Edmonton Oilers, Goalie

62 Cup Points, 50 Games, 1.24 Cup Points per Game, 29 Wins, 14 Losses, 5 Ties/Overtime Losses, .913 Save Percentage, 2.75 Goals Against Average, 10.1 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #442).

Skinner took over at Edmonton’s top Goalie, playing in between the pipes in 50 Games, well up from 13 last season. He went to the All-Star Game this year, and was tenth in Goalie Point Shares (10.1)

81. (Tie) J.T. Miller: Vancouver Canucks, Center

62 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.77 Cup Points per Game, 32 Goals, 50 Assists, 82 Points, -7, 60 PIM, 51 Blocked Shots, 200 Hits, 58 Takeaways, 46 Giveaways, 7.5 Point Shares. 

Miller matched his 32 Goals, but was down 17 Assists from last season.

86. (TIE) Andrei Svechnikov: Carolina Hurricanes, Right Wing:

61 Cup Points, 64 Games, 0.95 Cup Points per Game, 23 Goals, 32 Assists, 55 Points, +6, 71 PIM, 17 Blocked Shots, 140 Hits, 35 Takeaways, 49 Giveaways, 6.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #26)

The Second Overall Pick from 2018, Svechnikov continues his gradual improvement, though he missed significant time this year, resulting in a Cup Point Standing tumble.  At only 23, a 100-Point year is possible.

87. (TIE) Owen Tippett: Philadelphia Flyers, Right Wing

61 Cup Points, 77 Games, 0.79 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 22 Assists, 49 Points, -17, 16 PIM, 69 Blocked Shots, 125 Hits, 44 Takeaways, 23 Giveaways, 4.7 Point Shares. 

Tippett proved his worth as an NHL player this season, and considering how long the player he was traded for, Claude Giroux, played in Florida, it could be a potential steal.

87 (TIE). Ilya Samsonov: Toronto Maple Leafs, Goalie

61 Cup Points, 42 Games, 1.44 Cup Points per Game, 27 Wins, 10 Losses, 5 Ties/Overtime Losses, .919 Save Percentage, 2.33 Goals Against Average, 8.5 Goalie Point Shares (Last Year, #245).

Samsonov joined Toronto this year, and performed well, finishing sixth in Save Percentage (.919) and fifth in Goals Against Average (2.33).

89. (TIE) Viktor Arvidsson: Los Angeles Kings, Left Wing

60 Cup Points, 77 Games, 0.87 Cup Points per Game, 26 Goals, 33 Assists, 59 Points, -4, 24 PIM, 48 Blocked Shots, 25 Hits, 19 Takeaways, 35 Giveaways, 5.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #158)

Arvidsson was one Point shy of 60, which was also two short of his previous high, which he last had as a Nashville Predator in 2017-18.

89. (TIE) Nico Hischier: New Jersey Devils, Center:

60 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.74 Cup Points per Game, 31 Goals, 49 Assists, 80 Points, +33, 32 PIM, 61 Blocked Shots, 34 Hits, 64 Takeaways, 41 Giveaways, 9.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #143)

Hischier grew his Point tally by 20 from last year, giving him a career-hih of 80. He also posted a personal best in Goals (33) and Plus/Minus (+33).

91. (TIE) Miro Heiskanen: Dallas Stars, Defense:

59 Cup Points, 79 Games, 0.75 Cup Points per Game, 11 Goals, 62 Assists, 73 Points, +12, 32 PIM, 96 Blocked Shots, 49 Hits, 53 Takeaways, 65 Giveaways, 11.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #305)

In his fifth NHL season, Heiskanen more than doubled his previous high in Points (36), and should break his previous high in Norris voting (12th). Heiskanen lost many Cup Points through the season to his Goalie, Jake Oettinger, but we expect he will have a lot more next year.

91. (Tie) Aleksander Barkov: Florida Panthers, Center:

59 Cup Points, 68 Games, 0.87 Cup Points per Game, 23 Goals, 55 Assists, 78 Points, +10, 8 PIM, 42 Blocked Shots, 50 Hits, 59 Takeaways, 51 Giveaways, 7.3 Point Shares. (Last Year, #26)

A special under-the-radar player due to playing on a low-profile team, Barkov is a former Lady Byng and Selke Winner, and is now a two-time All-Star. Barkov may not be as recognized as he should, but a Stanley Cup might change that. He dropped ten Points from last year and a lot more in Cup Points.

91. (Tie) Kyle Connor: Winnipeg Jets, Left Wing

59 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.82 Cup Points per Game, 31 Goals, 49 Assists, 80 Points, -11, 20 PIM, 24 Blocked Shots, 43 Hits, 42 Takeaways, 40 Giveaways, 7.5 Point Shares. 

Connor had another good year, though his Goal output dropped by 16. As he is still well under 30, a 50-Goal campaign for Connor is not out of the question.

94 (TIE). Johnny Gaudreau: Columbus Blue Jackets, Left Wing:

58 Cup Points, 80 Games, 0.73 Cup Points per Game, 21 Goals, 53 Assists, 74 Points, -33, 22 PIM, 18 Blocked Shots, 5 Hits, 49 Takeaways, 50 Giveaways, 5.7 Point Shares. (Last Year, #7)

Gaudreau stunned the hockey community when he signed with the Blue Jackets, but his output dropped from 115 Points and a league-leading +66.

94 (TIE). Joel Eriksson Ek: Minnesota Wild, Center

58 Cup Points, 78 Games, 0.74 Cup Points per Game, 23 Goals, 38 Assists, 61 Points, +4, 103 PIM, 55 Blocked Shots, 119 Hits, 44 Takeaways, 14 Giveaways, 6.1 Point Shares. (Last Year, #121)

Eriksson Ek had three less Goals than last season, but 15 more Assists to give him a career-high of 61.

96. Michael Bunting: Toronto Maple Leafs, Left Wing

57 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.70 Cup Points per Game, 23 Goals, 26 Assists, 49 Points, +21, 103 PIM, 56 Blocked Shots, 18 Hits, 49 Takeaways, 38 Giveaways, 5.5 Point Shares. (Last Year, #101)

Bunting was third in Calder votes last year, and had less Points overall this season (49 from 63) but he had the same amount of Goals (23).

97 (TIE). Nick Suzuki: Montreal Canadiens, Center

56 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.68 Cup Points per Game, 26 Goals, 40 Assists, 66 Points, -13, 33 PIM, 56 Blocked Shots, 50 Hits, 42 Takeaways, 52 Giveaways, 5.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #107)

Suzuki barely missed out on a top ten in Cup Standings, but squeaked in this year. The Habs Center matched last season’s 40 Assists, but added five Goals.

97 (TIE). Dawson Mercer: New Jersey Devils, Center

56 Cup Points, 82 Games, 0.68 Cup Points per Game, 27 Goals, 29 Assists, 56 Points, +22, 14 PIM, 63 Blocked Shots, 36 Hits, 22 Takeaways, 35 Giveaways, 6.4 Point Shares. (Last Year, #255)

An NHL sophomore, Mercer scored 56 at the age of 21. This bodes well for both the Devils and Mercer going forward.

97 (TIE). Brandon Hagel: Tampa Bay Lightning, Left Wing

56 Cup Points, 81 Games, 0.69 Cup Points per Game, 30 Goals, 34 Assists, 64 Points, +23, 54 PIM, 58 Blocked Shots, 68 Hits, 92 Takeaways, 48 Giveaways, 7.2 Point Shares. (Last Year, #197)

Hagel completed his first full year in Tampa, and it was best ever, posting highs in Goals (30), Assists (34), Points (64) and Plus/Minus (+23).

100 (TIE). Troy Terry: Anaheim Ducks, Center & Right Wing
