Top 5 Scorers 1 Month In - What they are contributing

Here are the current top 5 point leaders in the NHL as of November 16th. You will be able to see their stats, and what they have contributed to their team of late. 

#5 - Taylor Hall, LW, Edmonton Oilers

Taylor Hall has started off the year extremely hot. He is currently sitting at 20 points, with 8 goals and 12 assists in 18 games played. Hall began the year playing on the top line with young phenom Connor McDavid at center. Now, with McDavid being sidelined for an extended period of time with a shoulder injury, Hall has been seeing top line minutes with Leon Draisaitl at center and Teddy Purcell at RW. Hall's speed agility are what causes him to open so much and pot those 8 goals. 

#4 - Blake Wheeler, RW, Winnipeg Jets

Blake Wheeler has been the Jets dynamic offensive leader for awhile now, and he has continued it in the 2015 season. Wheeler is currently posting 20 points, with those 20 points consisting of 8 goals and 12 assists in 18 games played. The Minnesota native has been playing in the top RW spot alongside centerman Bryan Little and winger Mathieu Perreault. At 6'4", Wheeler is a big body power forward who uses his size to create space for himself and power his way around defenders. He also possesses some sneaky speed. 

#3 - Jamie Benn, LW, Dallas Stars

The embodiment of the modern-day power forward, Stars captain Jamie Benn has been reaping the benefits of his size and hockey IQ so far this season. Not to mention playing on a line with the talents of center Tyler Seguin and winger Patrick Sharp. Benn is sitting at second on the Stars in points. He has 12 goals and 13 assists, totaling up to 25 points in 18 games played. Benn has been on fire to start the year, and the Art Ross Trophy winner will look to sit atop the league in points again at the end of this season

#2 - Tyler Seguin, C, Dallas Stars

This list is dominated by Dallas players, and it should come to no surprise. Tyler Seguin is a lethal offensive weapon leading the charge down the middle for the Stars. The 2010 second-overall pick is sitting comfortably with 26 points in 18 games played, with 9 goals and 17 assists. Seguin is racking up a higher assist rate than last year when he excelled in the goal scoring column. Centering Dallas' top line with Jamie Benn and Patrick Sharp on his wings, Seguin has the opportunity to pick up a point every time he steps on the ice. With rate the Stars are playing, Seguin will be at the top of points category for the entire season. 

#1 - Patrick Kane, RW, Chicago Blackhawks 

An offseason backed by extreme controversy does not seem to be phasing Patrick Kane in the slightest. The Buffalo-born superstar is currently posting a league-leading 13 goals, with 15 assists, and the obvious league-leading 28 points. Kane has found his time on the second-line playing with center Artem Anisimov and winger Artemi Panarin. Kane has found some sparkling chemistry with two Russians and those three should remain together for the entire season. He's got the best hands in the league and underrated quickness. His vision of the goalie is at the top of it's class and it is why Kane is one of the best players in the league.
