David Perron of Vegas was the runaway scoring leader with 66 points. Carolina’s Jordan Staal and the Golden Knights’ James Neal finished a distant second and third, with 46 and 44 points respectively.
Neal paced the Ex-Pens with 25 goals, followed by Staal (19). Perron led the black-and-gold alum with 50 assists. Los Angeles defenseman Jake Muzzin finished second with 34 helpers.
Washington defenseman Matt Niskanen (+24) topped the list in plus/minus by a wide margin, followed by the Blue Jackets defender Ian Cole (+14). Ryan Reaves (94 PIM) and Cole (76 PIM) were the most penalized.
