Mark,
I read your site often but just noticed the records section. I noticed that Evgeni Malkin was omitted from the Highest NHL Points Per Game List.
Malkin should be listed at number 15 with a 1.1875 PPG average with 418 points in 356 games. Thanks. Love the site.

you should probably asterisk Dany Heatley,
