NHL: the team's points leader over its last 10 games this season (last season's final 10 if fewer than 3 played).

All numbers come from our own schedule and game-log tables; each section states its window. Results our logs can't settle reliably (e.g. a tied run or goal sum) show as “–” and are left out of streaks. Not betting advice.
