At the beginning of the 2024-25 season, we here at THW put together a list of the top 10 current right wingers in the NHL. These lists are highly subjective, as there are several big-name players left off for ones who are playing better through the first half of this season.
As you can imagine, compiling this certainly wasn’t easy, but it is a fun thing to discuss regardless. With that said, here are the current top 10 right wingers in the NHL.
10. Mitch Marner
While he isn’t coming off of the most outstanding season of his career, Mitch Marner continues to remain one of the game’s most productive wingers. The 27-year-old has been on pace for 100+ points in each of the last three seasons but hasn’t cracked that century mark just yet.
As impressive as Marner’s production is, he doesn’t tend to have as big an impact in other areas of the game as others who you will find ahead of him on this list. Until he can improve some deficiencies in his game, he will continue to have his detractors, many of which are Toronto Maple Leafs fans.
9. Mark Stone
After it looked like his career could be in jeopardy due to two separate back surgeries, Mark Stone is continuing to look as good as he ever has. What makes the 31-year-old so special is that he doesn’t have any specific talents that stand out when watching him. He is a choppy skater, he doesn’t have much for hands, and his shot leaves plenty to be desired. Despite all of that, he continues to be one of the game’s best wingers.
What Stone has over so many of his peers is his work ethic. There is nobody on the ice who is going to work harder to give his team success, and that comes at both ends of the ice. He can produce offensively, as shown by his 16 goals and 53 points through 56 games last season, but he is even better in his own zone. The Vegas Golden Knights have a heck of a player in him.

8. Brock Boeser
When Brock Boeser first entered the NHL, he looked like he was well on his way to becoming a star talent. Unfortunately, injuries and some personal matters saw his play diminish in recent seasons, to the point he was involved in several trade rumors. The Vancouver Canucks must be thanking their lucky stars that it didn’t come to that.
The 27-year-old Boeser is coming off of a career year. His 40 goals through not only led the Canucks, but are also tied for 15th amongst all NHLers. He is a big reason why…
