Top 100 NHL Players In 2026: 91 To 100

The best of the best. That's the best way to describe the top 100 NHL players right now.

The Hockey News' top 100 NHLers 2026 print edition was published right before the playoffs. It's not just a list of the top players of the season, though.

From the group of roughly 700 players, we select the top 100. That's the top 14 percent of the league.

We count down the very best the NHL has to offer in our 2026 edition of the top 100 players, available to purchase as a single issue or for free when you subscribe to The Hockey News today.

Also in the issue: we examine the effectiveness of unusual training methods, look back at the Americans' win at the Paralympics, explore the Extreme Ice Hockey League and learn more about inline hockey being played outside of the White House.

Plus, you'll find features on Connor McDavid, Macklin Celebrini, Martin Necas, Thomas Harley, Tim Stutzle, Tom Wilson, Travis Konecny, Nick Schmaltz, Darren Raddysh and much more.
