NHL Points Leaders: Forwards

2025-26All situationsThrough 83 team games

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by points, so they are not buried under the defensemen.

Points are goals plus assists, the classic scoring race. Top-line centres and power-play quarterbacks lead it most years. In leagues that split forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.

Leader in 2025-26: Connor McDavid (EDM), 138 PTS.
