Corey Locke of the Hartford Wolf Pack (New York Ranger affiliate took over the AHL scoring lead in November. He has recently been caught by two members of the Hershey Bears (Washington Capitals affiliate) who were behind him because of time that they had spent in the NHL. Keith Aucoin is the current AHL top scorer with 57 points in 37 AHL games played. Aucoin has been called up with Washington for nine games - in which he scored five points in limited ice time. The second highest scorer is Alexandre Giroux. He has 53 points in 34 AHL games played. He also has nine NHL games this year with three points in limited ice time. They leave Corey Locke in third in the scoring race with 48 points in 44 AHL games played.
Hershey has been on fire lately. The have won 15 of their last sixteen games. They have 29 goals scored in their last four games (an average of more than seven goals a games). Thus Aucoin and Giroux have built up significant leads over Locke in the scoring race in a short time. Barring injury or NHL callup (and Aucoin especially has shown himself to be NHL capable) it looks like these two will battle between each other for the AHL scoring race through the rest of the season.
