02 // How we rankRead this first

Score = points per game. Until a skater has 5 games this season it is his 2025-26 points per game (20+ games); after that, 70% this season and 30% last season.
It is multiplied by the share of his team's remaining games he is expected to play, using the estimated return on the latest ESPN injury report. No return date means no discount; check his status.
Teams are today's NHL.com rosters. These are our rankings, not projections and not ADP. Categories beyond points (shots, hits, blocks) are on the leaders page.

This season's stats start with opening night; until then the score is last season's.
