NHL Points Leaders: Forwards

2022-23All situationsThrough 85 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 2022-23: Connor McDavid (EDM), 153 PTS.
