NHL playoff point leaders 2023

The stars have been shining so far in the first round. 

Heading into action on Tuesday night, Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner is first in the playoffs in points with 10. He also leads the league in assists, racking up eight in just four games. 

Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl is second with nine. He is tied for first in goals with five and has added four assists as well. 

Stars center Roope Hintz continues to be one of the more underrated players. He has stepped up, especially with the absence of Joe Pavelski and his eight points are the third-most out of all postseason skaters. 

Toronto forwards Ryan O’Reilly, William Nylander and Auston Matthews all have recorded seven points through their first four games. Taylor Hall has seven as well for the Bruins, while Neal Pionk has paced the Jets’ offense with seven as well.
