NHL Game-Winning Goals per 60 Leaders

2020-21All situationsThrough 56 team games

This board ranks skaters by game-winning goals per 60 minutes of ice time in all situations, so players with different roles are compared fairly. Players under the minimum-minutes cutoff are hidden.

The game-winning goal is the winning team's goal that put it one ahead of the loser's final total: in a 5-2 win, the third goal. Shootout winners do not count. Rates surface low-minute players who already produce game-winning goals; they gain the most when their ice time grows.

Leader in 2020-21: Auston Matthews (TOR), 0.64 GWG/60.
