I used MS Excel to give me an answer. I had to get rid of seasons where a player was traded mid-season, and I also had some trouble if two players tied for the lead in a certain category. I had some trouble in Excel for this one, so please let me know if you see any errors.

I was quite surprised to see Alexei Yashin come in the top twenty, especially since everyone else on this list is, at the very least, a Hall of Fame candidate.

Bossy is a perfect 10-for-10. Nice to see the Hulls come in second place: like father, like son.

Geez, another list where Gretzky's the best playmaker. This is getting boring...
Defenseman Leading Team in Points
1 Ray Bourque 5
2 Denis Potvin 4
3 Bobby Orr 2
3 Brian Leetch 2
3 Phil Housley 2
6 Bill Gadsby 1
6 Brad Park 1
6 Chris Chelios 1
6 Dick Tarnstrom 1
6 Dmitri Mironov 1
6 Kevin Hatcher 1
6 Larry Murphy 1
6 Norm Maciver 1
6 Paul Coffey 1
6 Paul Reinhart 1
6 Reijo Ruotsalainen 1
6 Scott Stevens 1
6 Sergei Zubov 1
6 Sprague Cleghorn 1
As you can see, only five defensemen have ever led their team in scoring more than once. This would be pretty good ammo for the Housley deserves to be in the HOF debate.
Very, very strange to see Dick Tarnstrom tied with Paul Coffey on a list of best offensive defensemen!
