About single-game highs
These are the biggest single-game totals of 2026-27: shots on goal, points, goals, hits, blocked shots, time on ice and goalie saves for players, and goals by both teams and shots by one team for games. Ties at the cut-off are kept. Totals come from the official boxscores of 151 final games.
A single game is the noisiest sample in hockey. A 10-shot night usually comes from a big role plus a trailing team throwing pucks at the net; a 45-save night says as much about the defence in front of the goalie as about the goalie himself.
Use these as context, not signals: a player's season rate predicts his next game far better than his best game. For props, a huge shot total often follows score effects (trailing teams shoot more), so check the game script before chasing it.
