This is a question based on a discussion on the main board. How many players have led their team in scoring by at least 50 points?
Here's what we have so far:

I thought Dionne would have done it, but his largest margin was 39 points in 1979.
Here's what we have so far:
Player | Season | Team | Margin |
Doug Gilmour | 1993 | Toronto | 53 |
Guy Lafleur | 1979 | Montreal | 52 |
Joe Sakic | 1991 | Quebec | 50 |
Mario Lemieux | 1986 | Pittsburgh | 58 |

Close calls
- Nathan MacKinnon led the Avalanche in scoring by 43 points during the COVID-shortened 2020 season; he was on track to lead his team in scoring by exactly 50 points.
- Lemieux barely misses on a fourth season (in 1993 he led the Penguins by 49 points).
- Ovechkin led the 2006 Capitals in scoring by 49 points.
- Maruk led the 1982 Capitals in scoring by 49 points.
