We have now reached two months since the NHL season was paused, which means at this point there will be very few changes from April's rankings.

Aside from a few minor adjustments, previously injured players who would be healthy enough to return will re-enter the rankings. This list will continue to assume that the 2019-20 will be continued at some point. If the season is cancelled, then these rankings will be adjusted for the 2020-21 season, whenever that may start.

Keep in mind that these are single-season rankings for a head-to-head or rotisserie league using the following settings: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT, W, GAA, SV%.

Are there any players that you believe are ranked too high or too low? Did we miss anyone in the top 100, or is there a player there that probably shouldn't be? Let us know in the comments below, and we will consider your feedback when compiling next month's rankings.
