In 2017-18 the Pittsburgh Penguins were the only team to place three teammates in the top-10 of scoring. Evgeni Malkin paced the team with 98 points (42 goals + 56 assists) for 4th in the league, Phil Kessel was behind him in 8th with 92 points (34g+52a) and Sidney Crosby ranked 10th with 89 points (29g+60a).
Last season saw Edmonton’s Connor McDavid win his second scoring title in as many years (108 points in 2017-18; 41g+67a) so the 21-year old has to be considered the odds-on favorite to take another Art Ross in 2018-19.
