What the Calgary Flames should do with defenseman Rasmus Andersson as the NHL trade deadline approaches The Calgary Flames are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL, with just 129 goals through 48 games. Their leading goal scorer, Jonathan Huberdeau, has 19 goals and 36 points. Interestingly, with 36 points, Huberdeau ranks dead last among other team top scorers in the NHL. What makes this statistic so fascinating is that the Flames are in a playoff spot and nowhere near the bottom of the league regarding wins or points. First, let's look at each team's top point producers [https://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?reportType=season&seasonFrom=20242025&seasonTo=20242025&gameType=2&sort=points&page=0&pageSize=50]: Statistics as of Jan. 28, 2025 1. undefined 2. undefined 3. undefined 4. undefined 5. undefined 6. undefined 7. undefined 8. undefined 9. undefined 10. undefined 11. undefined 12. undefined 13. undefined 14. undefined 15. undefined 16. undefined 17. undefined 18. undefined 19. undefined 20. undefined 21. undefined 22. undefined 23. undefined 24. undefined 25. undefined 26. undefined 27. undefined 28. undefined 29. undefined 30. undefined 31. undefined 32. undefined Sebastian Aho is not technically the leading scorer for the Carolina Hurricanes. Still, since Martin Necs (55 points) was just traded for Mikko Rantanen (64 points), Aho needs only five points to overtake his former teammate and put himself in a position to win the team's scoring title. Meanwhile, the NHL's top team, the Washington Capitals, has the league's 23rd-highest top scorer, as Dylan Strome only has 46 points. As mentioned, Huberdeau leads the Flames with 19 goals, which isn't bad. At least Calgary doesn't rank last in this category. When Huberdeau gets his 20th, the team could become the 23rd team with a 20-goal scorer in the lineup, depending on which other 19-goal scorers light the lamp that night. Here's a breakdown of the NHL's top goal scorers [https://www.nhl.com/stats/skaters?reportType=season&seasonFrom=20242025&seasonTo=20242025&gameType=2&sort=goals&page=0&pageSize=50] by team: 1. undefined 2. undefined 3. undefined 4. undefined 5. undefined 6. undefined 7. undefined 8. undefined 9. undefined 10. undefined 11. undefined 12. undefined 13. undefined 14. undefined 15. undefined 16. undefined 17. undefined 18. undefined 19. undefined 20. undefined 21. undefined 22. undefined 23. undefined 24. undefined 25. undefined 26. undefined 27. undefined 28. undefined 29. undefined 30. undefined 31. undefined 32. undefined Once again, since Rantanen got traded, he is technically still the leading goal scorer on the Avalanche. Still, Artturi Lehkonen gets the nod here since he is only five away from overtaking his former teammate for the lead. What do you think about where the Flames' top scorer ranks among his peers? What other adjustments can the coaching staff make to get more goals and points out of their players? Let us know in the comments.
