Blues' Schenn among NHL's scoring leaders thanks to point streak

Brayden Schenn is hitting all the right notes.

The St. Louis Blues forward is riding an eight-game point streak, which has caused him to rise to fourth in the NHL's scoring race. Only Steven Stamkos (35), Nikita Kucherov (33), and Johnny Gaudreau (31) have recorded more points than Schenn, who now sits at 30, albeit in two more games played than that trio.

A two-goal, two-assist performance Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers marked the second time Schenn has recorded four points in a single game during the streak, which dates back to St. Louis' second game of November.

Here's a look back at the damage done:

It certainly helps that Schenn is playing on a line that features Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, both of whom are also in the NHL's top 10 in terms of total points after dominating the Oilers.

But it's Schenn who has been the most proficient and prominent league-wide as of late, as his 19 points are most among all players since the streak began, four clear of Gaudreau.
