Rantanen and MacKinnon, who are both currently riding a six game point streak, are the only two NHLers to hit 40 points this so far this season. And although he’s a tier below them, Landeskog’s 28 points are enough to put him in a tie for 13th in scoring league-wide, sitting pretty alongside the likes of Alex Ovechkin, David Pastrnak, Mark Stone and Morgan Rielly.
