The 2026-27 NHL season opens with a deep group of established and emerging goal scorers positioned for 30-goal campaigns, as reflected in preseason point projections and bold predictions across multiple outlets. Top projected finishers include Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, Leon Draisaitl, Macklin Celebrini, Nikita Kucherov, and Jason Robertson, each frequently forecast above 35-40 goals, while additional candidates such as Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Auston Matthews, and young standouts like Connor Bedard and Jackson Blake draw repeated 30-goal mentions. Recent preseason results have highlighted strong offensive starts and power-play opportunities for several of these players, though early injuries like Seth Jarvis’s shoulder recovery for Carolina could shift top-line minutes. An 84-game schedule, line chemistry, and goaltending matchups will further influence individual totals as training camp lineups finalize.
