What Points per 60 measures
This board ranks skaters by points per 60 minutes of ice time in all situations, so a fourth-liner who plays 9 minutes is compared fairly with a top-pair defenseman who plays 25. Players under the minimum-minutes cutoff are hidden. Points per 60 minutes of ice time, all situations.
Rates settle faster than totals but need minutes: early in the season, low-minute players swing the most. A row needs at least 426 minutes to qualify, a bar that rises as the season goes on, so early leaders with a handful of games do not crowd the top.
Points are goals plus assists, the classic scoring race. Top-line centres and power-play quarterbacks lead it most years. Rates surface low-minute players who already produce; they are the ones to grab when an injury opens up ice time. In 2019-20, 597 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 1.43 and David Pastrnak leads at 4.29.
