Hot Playoff Commodities!
April 9, 2001
There are always players that are synonymous with the playoffs - Claude Lemieux, John Druce and Esa Tikkanen to name a few. While Lemieux's Coyotes were bounced from this year's post-season parade, there are still a number of players that regularly out-perform their regular season stats. We will list our Top 10.
| Player | Regular
Season Points per Game |
Playoff Points per Game |
Difference |
| Trevor Linden (VAN) | 0.77 | 1.01 | +0.24 |
| Turner Stevenson (NJ) | 0.29 | 0.50 | +0.21 |
| Jason Woolley (BUF) | 0.49 | 0.64 | +0.15 |
| Andrei Nikolishin (WAS) | 0.49 | 0.62 | +0.13 |
| John Maclean (DAL) | 0.73 | 0.85 | +0.12 |
| Martin Lapointe (DET) | 0.37 | 0.48 | +0.11 |
| Sylvain Cote (WAS) | 0.39 | 0.47 | +0.08 |
| Scott Thornton (SJ) | 0.24 | 0.32 | +0.08 |
| Doug Gilmour (BUF) | 1.03 | 1.10 | +0.07 |
| Shayne Corson (TOR) | 0.68 | 0.75 | +0.07 |
When you take into account that, on average, goals per game are about 15% less in the playoffs than they are in the regular season, these numbers are even more impressive. If you're looking for a later round sleeper pick one of these guys may come in handy.
