1,200: Crosby, Ovechkin, Patrick Marleau --Forty-seven players in NHL history have reached 1,200 points and three have a chance to get there this season. Crosby has scored at least 84 points in each of the past five seasons (average: 90.2) and if he gets 84 this season, he'll become the second Penguins player to reach 1,200, joining Mario Lemieux (1,723). Ovechkin is 78 points away, a total he's surpassed in nine of his 12 full NHL seasons. It would take a 71-point season for Marleau of the Toronto Maple Leafs to achieve the milestone, a total he hasn't reached since he had 73 points with the Sharks in 2010-11.
1,000: Malkin, Staal --Malkin is 70 points away, and if healthy, should have no problem getting there. Staal needs 78 points, which may seem like a reach considering he hasn't had that many since he had 82 with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2007-08, but he came close last season with 76 points in 82 games.
