#3 Dennis Maruk
Coming in at number three is another impact player from back in the day. Dennis Maruk actually had a season that was even better than Alex Ovechkin, recording 136 points during the 1981-82 season. The most Ovechkin had recorded in a season is 112. Marukk had 60 goals and 70 assists.
Maruk was traded to the Capitals by Minnesota back in the beginning of the 1978-79 season. He went on to score 31 goals and add 59 assists for 90 points. Those assists and points led the team while his 31 goals tied for the team lead. The next season saw him score 10 goals and add 17 assists for 27 points in 27 games in what was an injury plagued second season.
In the 1980-81 season Maruk scored 50 goals and had 47 assists for 97 points before that monster 136 point season the next year. His next season was his final season in D.C. where he scored 31 goals and added 50 assists for 81 points. He also had one playoff goal and an assist in four games. He was traded in July of 1983 back to the Minnesota North Stars for a second rounder the next year that turned out to be Stephen Leach.
Maruk was a unique player with his mustache and his nickname known by teammates was “pee wee”.
