What Points: forwards, last 30 days measures
This board ranks NHL forwards by total points, all situations, over the last 30 days. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Total points, all situations, over the last 30 days.
A short window is a small sample: shots, hits, blocks and ice time carry over from week to week far better than goals and points do. Treat a hot window as a lead to check, not a verdict.

In 2026-27, 378 forwards qualify for this board; the median is 4 and Connor McDavid leads at 26.
