Meanwhile, Jeff Skinner of the Carolina Hurricanes had a breakout season, scoring 31 goals and earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team.

Another standout player during the regular season was Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin. Despite missing 39 games due to injury, Malkin finished the season with 15 goals and 22 assists. His strong play helped the Penguins secure a playoff spot, where they eventually lost to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round.
