Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, Macklin Celebrini and Leon Draisaitl are making multi-point outings appear easier than tying skates.
McDavid and MacKinnon lead with 27, Kucherov has 25, and Celebrini and Draisaitl trail with 20.
A total of 25 NHL players have at least 15 multi-point games heading into play on Wednesday, Jan. 21, and 16 players have at least five games with three points each.
Their otherworldly production creates an ideal opportunity to look at and celebrate the five active players with the most multi-point games over their storied careers. Of this top five, only one sits in the top 10 among all players, active or not.
Most multi-point games among active NHL players
5. Connor McDavid
McDavid has 356 multi-point outings in 763 career games. He has notched at least two points in about 47% of the games he’s played. That’s 10 percentage points higher than Sidney Crosby.
Only Mario Lemieux (54%) and Wayne Gretzky (55%) scored two or more points at a higher rate than No. 97.
The Oilers captain also has the most multi-point games in a season among active players, reaching 45 twice.
4. Patrick Kane
Patrick Kane, the highest-scoring active American player, has 362 multi-point outings in 1,337 games. While he doesn’t rack up multi-point games as he did during his glory days with the Chicago Blackhawks, Kane has amassed at least two points at a 27% clip.
Unlike McDavid, you don’t have to worry too much about Kane’s stat changing quickly, as he has eight multi-point games this season and just one in the previous 11 matches.
Kane’s career best of 31 multi-point games occurred in 2018-19.
3. Evgeni Malkin
Evgeni Malkin only trails Crosby and Lemieux on the Pittsburgh Penguins’ multi-point outings chart, with 369 in 1,246 games.
He scores at least two points in about 30% of the games he plays. His most multi-point games in a season was 32 in 2008-09, when he also secured a career-high 113 points.
Malkin got off to a prolific start this season, securing six multi-point outings in the opening 10 games. However, he has just three in the 23 games since.
2. Alex Ovechkin
The second Russian on this list, Alex Ovechkin, sits 11th all-time in multi-point outings, with 463. He’s seven behind 10th-place Ron Francis.
Having played 1,541 games, Ovechkin gets at least two points in about 30% of his games. He accumulated the most multi-point outings during the 2009-10 season (35) despite playing only 72 games.
While slowing down is a byproduct of the aging process, the 40-year-old continues to play at a remarkably high level. He has 12 multi-point outings in 2025-26.
1. Sidney Crosby
Crosby is fifth all-time for players with the most multi-point games. No. 87 has 512 multi-point outings in 1,400 games and sits behind Mark Messier (513), Marcel Dionne (513), Jaromir Jagr (540) and Gretzky (824).
The Penguins’ captain secures multi-point outings at a roughly 37% clip, and his best season came in 2006-07, when he finished with 38 multi-point outings in 79 games.
He has 19 in 48 games so far this season, equating to a 40% rate.
