Two seasons ago, four of the top six scorers in the NHL were Russian. Last season it was four of the top 19. So far this season, it’s four of the top 29. Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Kovalchuk (in past seasons), Evgeni Malkin, Alex Semin and Pavel Datsyuk are represented in that elite group with the two players often involved in the debate of best current NHLer (Malkin and Ovechkin) showing up each season. That’s why they’re always centered in that conversation: they put up points.
