Sneaky high scoring seasons

[nbwingsfan]

Justin Abdelkader once had a 23g in 71 game season almost entirely from Datsyuk bouncing pucks off his ass

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

The Oilers had a winger during their decade of darkness named Ryan Jones.
He had 3 full NHL seasons where he didn't get sent to the AHL at some point, one of those seasons he scored 17 and 18 goals in another.

Nick Foligno 73P in 79GP 2014/15?

 

[Shocker]

He's the 12th highest scoring defenseman of all time, and you only remember him for elbows he didn't throw? Had you said he's only remembered for headshots, you'd be on to something but he only took 4 elbowing penalty in 1635 career games.

Yeah, Stevens didn't usually throw elbows, he did headhunt people, but back in the day those were legal hits.

Anders Kallur scored 36 in 1980-81

Robert Lang led the league in scoring for majority of the 2003-04 season.

Gonna go with 2 Czech players here.

Does anyone remember when Voracek and Lang at their best were leading the league in points for a bit?

Voracek ended up 4th in points, 7 points shy of the Art Ross Trophy.

Lang finished 9th in points, but a PPG of 1.14, 4th best in the league. 2nd best pace that season was 1.16..

he also outproduced Jagr that season, and they were on the same team

Neither player ever finished top 10 in points again. Lang's next best is a 20th point finish, and 15th for Voracek.

Robert Lang led the league in scoring for majority of the 2003-04 season.

Beat me to it, I didn't realize it was the majority of the season though.
