NHL Points Leaders: Forwards

2023-24All 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 2023-24: Nikita Kucherov (TBL), 144 PTS.
