Because of the ongoing decline in NHL scoring, reaching the 80-point mark is now the benchmark for the league's leading scorers. In 2014-15, only five players reached that plateau. Among them was Dallas Stars center Jamie Benn (pictured above), the 2015 Art Ross Trophy winner.
Several players stand a good chance to reach the mark this season. They include new scoring stars like Benn and teammate Tyler Seguin. There are also several rising young talents like Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, as well as long-established superstars like Washington's Alex Ovechkin.
