These two superstars are dominating with incredible seasons that have them way ahead of everyone else.

24.263 - 40.509 Host

McKinnon, the 30-year-old from Halifax, has 35 goals and 39 assists for 74 points in just 41 games. That puts him on pace for a stunning 70-goal season, something not seen since Toronto's Auston Matthews hit 69 last year.

McKinnon leads the scoring race by two points over McDavid, even though he's played one fewer game.

46.538 - 65.736 Unknown

McDavid is hot on his trail, with 72 points in 42 games, both guys projecting over 140 points by season's end. For most players, that would lock up the most valuable player award, but for these two, it's just their normal elite level. They're powering stacked teams, which voters always factor in.

Now a wild card is emerging in 19-year-old San Jose Sharks phenom Macklin Celebrini from North Vancouver. He's exploded with 22 goals and 41 assists for 63 points in 41 games, already matching his rookie total in way fewer outings. His play has the Sharks at 20 wins, 18 losses, and three ties, just two points from a wild card spot. Nobody saw that coming.
