Breaking down the top 10 single-season point scorers in Blackhawks history

Few NHL franchises have enjoyed a more storied history than the Chicago Blackhawks, and one look at their top 10 single-season points producers shows us that. It’s so great that nobody on this list finished with fewer than 105 points, and one extraordinary player had an astounding five seasons in which he reached at least the 105-point threshold. 

Overall, just four players make up the top 10, as two others on this list also enjoyed multiple seasons that saw them finishing with 105 or more points. Now, let’s check out these players and see just how dominant they were to land a spot on the all-time points list. 

Jeremy Roenick: 1992-93, 1993-94

You will find plenty of Hockey Hall of Famers pacing the Blackhawks in single-season points, and Jeremy Roenick is one of them, in part thanks to more than a few epic seasons he enjoyed as a member of the team. In 1991-92, Roenick hit 103 points and scored 53 goals, the latter of which you can count on as one of the best in team history. 

While that magical season didn’t make the cut in this category, it’s nonetheless worth an honorable mention. But in 1992-93, Roenick’s production increased to an epic 107 points and 50 goals, and for an encore the next season, he had another 107 points while finding the net 46 times. 

His performance in 1993-94 landed him strong consideration for the NHL All-Star Team, and he also finished in 10th for the Hart Trophy. 

Bobby Hull, 1968-69

If you’re a fan of the Chicago Blackhawks, chances are you know who Bobby Hull is. And talk about an epic points producer for the Black Hawks (as they were known in his day) during the Original Six Era and for roughly two decades into the Expansion Era. 

Hull enjoyed several fantastic seasons with the Black Hawks, but none better than his 1968-69 campaign in which he finished with 107 points and an eye-popping 58 goals. He only took fifth for the Hart that year, but Hull also extended his streak of earning a spot as a First-Team NHL All-Star to seven seasons. 

Patrick Kane: 2015-16, 2018-19

If there’s one guarantee, it’s that Connor Bedard has the potential to be the Blackhawks next version of Patrick Kane, but we can also conclude that Kane set the bar ultra high for Bedard. This is a player who, in 1,161 games for the Hawks, finished with 1,225 career points and 446 goals, with his 2015-16 and 2018-19 seasons factoring in as his most productive. 

Kane finished 2015-16 with 106 points and 46 goals, leading the league in the former category and taking the Hart, Pearson, and Ross Trophies. Come 2018-19, Kane enjoyed a magnificent age-30 campaign, with 110 points and 44 goals, good enough for Second-Team NHL All-Star honors. 

Denis Savard: 1984-85, 1985-86, 1981-82, 1982-83, 1987-88

And finally, we got Denis Savard, who was one of the NHL’s finest players throughout the 1980s since the moment he skated onto NHL ice. But his 1984-85 season was just one of five 100-plus-point campaigns, in which he finished the year with 38 goals and 67 assists. 

The following season in 1985-86, Savard scored 47 goals and accumulated 116 points, which at the time was the third-best mark of his career. Flashback to 1981-82 and Savard, in his age-20 season, scored 32 goals and landed 87 assists, good for an epic 119 points and a 10th-place finish for the Hart. 

Fast-forward to 1982-83, and his 35-goal, 86-assist season gave him 121 points on the year, a third-place finish for the Hart, and Second-Team NHL All-Star honors. Finally, Savard’s 1987-88 season bested them all, with 131 points, 44 goals, and 87 assists, which helped him land a fifth-place finish for the Hart.
