Even sports fans who aren't into hockey have likely at least heard of the name Alexander Ovechkin. With all due apologies to Sidney Crosby, Ovechkin is the popular choice as the best player in the world, and his numbers bear that out Donald Driver Jersey. He leads the NHL with 89 points and is tied with Crosby for the league lead in goals with 42 while also claiming the top spot in shots on goal. Stamkos and Gaborik aren't far behind in goals, with each putting 35 in net, while Malkin's 44 assists trail only Ovechkin in this group, and are the eighth-most in hockey.
Marleau leads this group, and is third in the NHL, with 38 goals, while Heatley and Kovalchuk also each have more than 30 tallies. Heatley's 34 assists lead this bevy of players, followed closely by Parise, though Parise shoots the puck like an alcoholic shoots whiskey, and holds a rather lengthy lead in putting the puck on net. No player in this particular collection of fantasy hockey stalwarts has fewer than 27 goals, and only Marleau has less than 30 helpers.
Lederberg's injury earlier in the season means his overall point total isn't quite at the level of the others in this group, but he makes up for that by leading in shots on goal. St. Louis is sixth in the NHL in points, due in no small part to the fact that his 49 assists are tied for fourth in all of hockey. Coincidentally, the person he is tied with is also among this assortment of skaters Packers pro shop, with that person being Dallas center Richards. Kane and Kopitar don't have the assist totals of those two, but they do have the most goals in the group, with 25 and 28, respectively.
