Details
Guy Lafleur’s 125 points in 1975-76 for the Montreal Canadiens earned him his first of three consecutive Art Ross Trophy wins as the top scorer in the National Hockey League. His 56 goal total was the second in a string of six consecutive seasons topping the 50 goal plateau. He would reach a career best 60 goals two years later in 1977-78.
The mentioned 18 power play goals put him one behind league leader Phil Esposito of the New York Rangers and tied him with Pierre Larouche (Pittsburgh Penguins), Denis Potvin (New York Islanders) and Rick Martin (Buffalo Sabres).
It was the best power play goal performance of Lafleur’s Hockey Hall of Fame NHL career. Of his 560 regular season goals, 154 were scored with the man advantage.
