83 – Combined point total (39 goals, 44 assists) for Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom, tied for the fifth-highest mark for teammates so far this season. Backstrom and Ovechkin are the top two power-play point-getters in the League (with 24 and 22, respectively), which is, of course, nice… but neither is among the top-50 even-strength scorers, which will likely need to change if the Caps want to make any noise in the Eastern Conference.
Anyway, the top six point-scoring tandems:
Team | Player 1 | Player 2 | Total Points |
Pittsburgh | Sidney Crosby (20G, 34A) | Evgeni Malkin (9G, 32A) | 95 |
Pittsburgh | Sidney Crosby (20G, 34A) | Chris Kunitz (20G, 19A) | 93 |
Anaheim | Ryan Getzlaf (19G, 25A) | Corey Perry (22G, 19A) | 85 |
Chicago | Patrick Kane (22G, 27A) | Patrick Sharp (18G, 18A) | 85 |
Chicago | Patrick Kane (22G, 27A) | Jonathan Toews (13G, 21A) | 83 |
Washington | Alex Ovechkin (30G, 11A) | Nicklas Backstrom (9G, 33A) | 83 |
