Most NHL points since 2016 show some veterans can still keep up
The NHL has somewhat switched over to a new generation with the likes of Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nathan MacKinnon taking over the league.
While the players that dominated the early 2010s like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin and Patrick Kane, are getting older.
The prime age in the NHL appears to be getting younger and younger, with players scoring at increased rates not long after they're in the league.
However, based on the most points in the NHL since the 2016-17 season, some older guys still have it, including one Boston Bruins player.
Check it out:
1. Connor McDavid- 649
2. Leon Draisaitl � 556
3. Patrick Kane � 517
4. Brad Marchand � 506
5. Nathan MacKinnon � 495
6. Artemi Panarin � 492
7. Sidney Crosby � 471
