1. Bobby Ryan - A native of Cherry Hill, Ryan is a 32-year-old forward in his seventh season with the Anaheim Ducks. He was selected second overall by the Ducks in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and scored at least 30 goals in four consecutive years with the team from 2008-09 to 2011-12. He has 551 career points through 821 regular-season games.

2. James van Riemsdyk - Selected second overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, van Riemsdyk has 231 goals and 217 assists for 448 points in 689 regular-season games. He scored a career-high 36 goals with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2017-18.

3. Johnny Gaudreau - Although he is third among players born in New Jersey with 402 points, Gaudreau leads those players in points per game (0.976) as he is only in his seventh season in the league. The Calgary Flames forward registered a career-best 99 points in 2018-9.
