Ironically, having your career shortened by injusry actually HELPS your career PPG stats, because you miss out on the later years that pull the average down. Forsberg and Lindros both benefitted from that.
As did Bobby Orr.
I might be the biggest Orr fan here, but his being 4th on that list is aided by the fact that he only played 36 games after the spring that he turned 27.
Bossy retired young as well (at 30).
