His 33 assists ? including five in a victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday ? give him an assists-per-game average of 1.269, which is the 20th-highest ratio in NHL history for a single season. The names ahead of him: Mario Lemieux, Wayne Gretzky, Adam Oates and Bobby Orr.
His 1.731 points per game rests just outside the top 50 all-time, at No. 51. Yet it?s the highest in the last 13 years, since Mario Lemieux?s 1.767 in 2000-01.
Perhaps most impressive of all: He?s making Chris Kunitz look like Jaromir Jagr.
Sid is on pace for 83 points this season, or 141.9 points in an 82-game season, which would be the highest in the NHL since Mario (161) and Jagr (149) had their incredible campaign in 1995-96.
