So just who is the best left winger in the National Hockey League in 2012? Let’s take a look at who the fans think are the top wingers from the left side.
- Daniel Sedin – Vancouver Canucks
- Alex Ovechkin – Washington Capitals
- Zach Parise – Minnesota Wild
- Rick Nash – New York Rangers
- Patrick Sharp – Chicago Blackhawks
- Martin St. Louis – Tampa Bay Lightning
- Ilya Kovalchuk – New Jersey Devils
- Scott Hartnell – Philadelphia Flyers
- Patrick Marleau – San Jose Sharks
- Milan Lucic – Boston Bruins
- Loui Eriksson – Dallas Stars

- Jeff Skinner – Carolina Hurricanes
- Taylor Hall – Edmonton Oilers
- Gabriel Landeskog – Colorado Avalanche
- Max Pacioretty – Montreal Canadiens
- Bobby Ryan – Anaheim Ducks
- Patrick Elias – New Jersey Devils
- Ryan Smyth – Edmonton Oilers
Islanders left winger Matt Moulson narrowly just missed the list as did the Jets’ Evander Kane. A couple of surprises perhaps in Taylor Hall being rated s high as he was and possibly Ryan Smyth who is still a great all around player and great guy to have in the dressing room. Patrick Elias of the Devils had a tremendous year last year and could be even rated a couple of spots higher.
