Early in the 2026-27 NHL season, which features an expanded 84-game schedule, several forwards have opened with strong goal totals that position them well for 30-goal campaigns. Kirill Kaprizov leads with eight or nine goals through roughly eight games for Minnesota, while Kyle Connor, Alexis Lafreniere, Sebastian Aho, and others sit at six or seven; Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have combined for high point production with fewer goals so far. Factors such as power-play usage, line chemistry, injury status, and schedule strength will shape sustainability, as will the league-wide distribution of scoring depth across contenders and rebuilding clubs. Historical benchmarks show roughly two dozen players typically clear the 30-goal mark in a full season.
