As we approach the 20-game mark of the season, I thought it would be interesting to see how many players who led their respective teams in scoring last season were doing the same this season. To my surprise, only 12 players are currently in that position: Zach Parise, Rick Nash, Henrik Sedin, Anze Kopitar, Sidney Crosby, Jeff Carter, Daniel Alfredsson, Mikko Koivu, Shane Doan, J.P. Dumont and Ray Whitney.

Who are the most unlikely team points leaders so far this campaign? I would have to say that I did not expect Dustin Penner, Rick Peverley, Rene Bourque, Tomas Plekanec, Steve Reinprecht, Andy McDonald and Patrice Bergeron to be leading their respective clubs in scoring.

Of course, things will change. I do believe Bourque will relinquish his lead to Jarome Iginla and Peverley will give way to Ilya Kovalchuk. But it certainly spices up fantasy hockey a bit when 67% of the players leading their teams offensively were not expected to do so.
