Through Sunday's games Red Wing Brendan Shanahan was the NHL's
leading scorer, with 14 points (eight goals and six assists) in
eight games. Over the last 22 seasons three players have
monopolized the Art Ross trophy, given to the league's scoring
leader: Wayne Gretzky (10 titles), Mario Lemieux (six) and
Jaromir Jagr (five). Who was the last player, other than those
three, to win the trophy?
