Preseason scoring leaders

These numbers are from prior to tonight's games, which means Lecavalier will rocket to the top of the standings after notching four more assists against Dallas. I'll update this list tomorrow morning as the info becomes available.

1. Crosby, Sidney, Pit. 7 points
2. Gonchar, Sergei, Pit. 6 points
3. Hamel, Denis, Ott. 6 points
4. Sturm, Marco, Bos. 6 points
5. Gaborik, Marian, Min. 5 points
6. Lecavalier, Vincent, T.B. 5 points
7. *Penner, Dustin, Ana. 5 points

As for more 'preseason thoughts', I'm unfortunately a little tied up with work and won't get back into the swing of things until at least Tuesday. I've got a list of 'camp battles to watch' that's been about 75 per cent finished for a week now, but I'll make sure it sees the light of day.
