The higher % share of points coming from PP which has contributed to the increased scoring rates in general.
In 2015-16 - there was Patrick Kane at 106 points and then Jamie Benn at 89 points.
Just last year, there were 19 players with 89+ points.
Hockey has completely changed in front of our very eyes. There is also a distinct difference between hockey played pre-covid and post-covid. There is a real movement to reduce physicality and display/showcase the skill game and increase scoring rates further. There is a real reason to do this and grow the game in the US/++ TV Deals. ++Scoring ++Entertainment for the mass public.
