What Points: forwards measures

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

Totals reward games played and ice time as much as skill; see the per-60 version for the rate view.

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. In 2017-18, 585 forwards qualify for this board; the median is 19 and Connor McDavid leads at 108.
