It stood out to me too.
I looked at NHL.com number (not great since they don't always correctly classify positions) but they have:
30 Left Wings at 40+ points
25 Right Wings at 40+ points
57 Centers at 40+ points currently (72 have 37+ which is where that 3C threshold is set)
So my guess here is that Tierney may have included some guys listed as a center but whom actually play as a winger on the deeper teams.
