What 5v5 Goals per 60 measures

This board ranks NHL skaters by goals per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time, this season. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Goals per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 ice time, this season.

5-on-5 scoring rates need a few hundred minutes to settle; on-ice shooting luck moves them more than most fantasy managers expect. A row needs at least 355 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.

Per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 is the fairest comparison between a top-line player and a depth player, with power-play time taken out. Goals scored this season, every situation including the power play and empty nets. The goal race swings more than the points race, because shooting percentage runs hot and cold. In 2019-20, 604 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 0.47 and Alex Ovechkin leads at 1.70.
