Kevin Stevens was arguably the most dominant power forward of his era, hitting the 40-goal mark four-straight seasons between 1990-94. At the height of his prime between the 1990-95 campaigns, Stevens’ 205 goals ranked fourth among all NHL players during that five-year stretch. An immovable force at the net front, Stevens is one of four skaters in NHL history to record 50 goals and 200 penalty minutes during a single season in ’91-92. That year, Stevens finished runner-up to Mario Lemieux in the NHL scoring race with 123 points, still the second highest single-season point total by a left wing in NHL history.

Stevens’ charismatic bravado inspired the Penguins’ comeback from a 2-0 deficit in the 1991 Conference Final against the Boston Bruins. After guaranteeing four-straight victories, Stevens backed up his words by scoring in the next three games, including two goals and three assists in Game 5 at the Boston Garden. Stevens’ 17 goals and 33 points in the ‘91 playoffs both remain NHL single-season playoff records by a left wing. His 17 goals are a Penguins record for a single playoff year. Among all NHL players, only Lemieux scored more playoff goals and points than Stevens between the ’91 and ’95 postseasons.
