DeBrincat has eight goals and four assists for 12 points in his first six games of the season.

With a hat trick and four-point performance against the Calgary Flames on Sunday, Alex DeBrincat put himself at the top of the NHL scoring list.

After being traded to the Detroit Red Wings by the Ottawa Senators last July, the Michigan native now has points in five of his first six games in the Motor City, including eight goals and four assists for 12 points, leading the league in both goals and points. A second-round pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft for the Chicago Blackhawks, DeBrincat shined in five seasons with the Blackhawks, recording 160 goals and 147 assists for 307 points during that span. When Chicago decided to rebuild and tear down the roster, they dealt DeBrincat to the Senators.
