If last year's NHL scoring champ, Peter Forsberg, doesn't capture the Art Ross Trophy this season, chances are one of his teammates will. The Colorado Avalanche dominate the list of top scorers so far this season with three players in the top eight: Forsberg, Milan Hejduk and current scoring leader Alex Tanguay. While it's no shock to see those names on the list of top scorers, the same can't be said for Mariusz Czerkawski. The winger has overcome last year's painfully bad season in Montreal to lead the New York Islanders in scoring with 11 goals and five assists. Here are the top 20 scorers, excluding yesterday's games. Tanguay, COL, 7G, 18A, 25P Lang, WAS, 10G, 13A, 23P Kovalchuk, ATL, 13G, 9A, 22P Palffy, LA, 5G, 17A, 22P Nagy, PHO, 10G, 10A, 20P Naslund, VAN, 7G, 12A, 19P Forsberg, COL, 5G, 14A, 19P Hejduk, COL, 11G, 7A, 18P Hossa, OTT, 9G, 9A, 18P Thornton, BOS, 3G, 15A, 18P Roenick, PHI, 8G, 9A, 17P Alfredsson, OTT, 8G, 9A, 17P Demitra, STL, 6G, 11A, 17P Bonk, OTT, 5G, 12A, 17P Gonchar, WAS, 1G, 16A, 17P Guerin, DAL, 11G, 5A, 16P Czerkawski, NYI, 11G, 5A, 16P Knuble, BOS, 8G, 8A, 16P Sakic, COL, 5G, 11A, 16P Murray, BOS, 5G, 11A, 16P
