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.
If you look at hockeydb, half the forwards in the league are listed as centres. Calgary has 8 forwards on the roster listed as a C - Bennett, Shore, Lazar are all Cs.
