NHL Power-Play Points Leaders: Forwards

2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by power-play points, so they are not buried under the defensemen.

Power-play points are goals and assists scored with the man advantage. They belong almost entirely to first-unit (PP1) players, so the board doubles as a map of who runs each power play. In leagues that split forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.

Leader in 2017-18: Phil Kessel (PIT), 42 PPP.
