NHL Network's Top Position Players Right Now

NHL Network's Top Position Players Right Now counts down the top players at each position while Top 50 Players Right Now culminates the offseason series, ranking players based on their performance over the past several seasons, with an emphasis on the 2025-26 regular season and 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, while also considering future upside. NHL Network researchers, producers and on-air personalities collaborated to compile each of the five lists: Wings, Defensemen, Goalies, Centers, and Top 50. Viewers can visit NHL.com/TopPlayers for videos highlighting the latest rankings following each edition of the countdown series and join the conversation using #NHLTopPlayers across NHL Media’s Facebook, Instagram and X platforms.
