Continuing our series our hockey pool tips this week we evaluate the top scoring NHL defensemen from the past three years.  We took the players’ average for games played, goals, assists, points and +/-.  There were three players that were pro-rated over the past two seasons:  Erik Karlsson from Ottawa, Alex Pietrangelo from St. Louis and Mark Streit from the Islanders.

We have also included the top 60 scoring defensemen from each of the past three seasons.  Good luck poolies.  Also be sure to check out out other hockey pool tips:
