What 5v5 Points measures

This board ranks NHL skaters by total points, 5-on-5, this season. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Total points, 5-on-5, this season.

5-on-5 scoring rates need a few hundred minutes to settle; on-ice shooting luck moves them more than most fantasy managers expect.

Taking out the power play shows who scores at even strength, where most of the game is played. Points are goals plus assists, the classic scoring race. Top-line centres and power-play quarterbacks lead it most years. In 2017-18, 801 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 14 and Connor McDavid leads at 71.
