Crosby became the 86th NHL skater to record 1,000 career points on Feb. 16 vs. Winnipeg. He was the quickest among active players and 12th-quickest all-time to accomplish the feat. He won the 2016 World Cup of Hockey with Team Canada and led the tournament with 10 points (3G, 7A).
RW Phil Kessel: A native of Madison, Wis., Kessel has notched 44 points (16G, 28A) over his last 52 games. He has recorded a team-leading 28 power-play points (8G, 20A) this season. He reached both 20 goals and 50 points for the ninth time in his NHL career.
G Matt Murray: A third-round pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, Murray leads NHL rookies with 28 wins this season. He became the fifth goaltender in league history to record 19 wins in his first 25 starts. Last season, the 22-year-old became the fourth rookie netminder to lead an NHL team to a Stanley Cup (Ken Dryden, Patrick Roy, Cam Ward).
