Even though Ovechkin's assist totals continue to plummet, he climbs to 7th place (since expansion) on the strength of his goal-scoring.

Crosby, with a stunning performance in the second half of the season, is now in 8th place.

Thornton had an excellent season - many had written him off as an elite player - and now climbs into a logjam for 10th place (tied with Messier and Selanne).

Kane, Benn and Karlsson all make big strides. Incredibly, Karlsson has now surpassed Bourque and is right behind Potvin.

Jagr finished 21st in the NHL in scoring, so he doesn't earn a point here, but it's still a remarkable accomplishment for a 43 year old.
