Steven Stamkos, one of the key drivers of the San Jose Hosers‘ potent offense, won the 2022-23 regular season scoring race with 151 points, the most by any player since Zach Parise tallied 153 in 2010. Stamkos, whose total is the sixth most points scored in a single season, finished with 72 goals and 79 points, and was joined by teammates Mitch Marner (134) and Nazem Kadri (120) in the 100-point club.

Adirondack‘s Chris Kreider, meanwhile, posted a historic season of his own with 87 goals, becoming the first player since 2008-09 to break the 80-goal barrier and finishing second behind Ilya Kovalchuk’s 96 for most goals in a single season.

John Carlson of the Farmington Fighting Saints finished the season as the league’s most productive defenseman, posting 94 points, 10 ahead of second-place Brent Burns. Boston winger Michael Bunting scored more than any other rookie, with 62 points, edging Trevor Zegras (57).

West Virginia‘s Juuse Saros and San Jose’s Igor Shesterkin led the way in goalie wins with 39 and 38, respectively, while Connor Hellebuyck‘s 5 shutouts was a big reason his South Side Renegades will be seeing playoff action.
