NHL Points Leaders: Forwards
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 2026-27: Connor McDavid (EDM), 9 PTS.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
