Keep your eye on the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy – it’s going to be a doozy that goes down to the wire. Six top-notch goal scorers are in the running and another six snipers are within striking distance; 12 players have reached the 20-goal plateau as the league schedule turns into the second half.

Here’s how the NHL dirty-dozen goal race breaks down:

SIX CONTENDERS
1. Marian Gaborik, NY Rangers (28 goals in 42 games)
He’s missed two games due to injury, but that was back at the end of October. Along with goalie Henrik Lundqvist, Gaborik has been the main reason why the Rangers remain in the playoff conversation.
