What SH Points per 60 measures

This board ranks NHL skaters by points per 60 minutes of shorthanded ice time, this season. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Points per 60 minutes of shorthanded ice time, this season.

Special-teams scoring follows special-teams ice time: a player's share of his team's PP minutes repeats much better than his PP points do. A row needs at least 125 minutes to qualify, a bar that rises as the season goes on, so early leaders with a handful of games do not crowd the top.

The shorthanded split shows who scores while killing penalties. Points are goals plus assists, the classic scoring race. Top-line centres and power-play quarterbacks lead it most years. In 2025-26, 166 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 0.37 and Sebastian Aho leads at 2.73.
