NHL Game-Winning Goals Leaders: Colorado Avalanche
2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by game-winning goals, regular season only, listing players with at least one. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
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. GWG mostly follows goals: the best scorers on the best teams pile them up. Season to season the total has almost no skill signal beyond goal scoring.
Leader for the Colorado Avalanche in 2019-20: Andre Burakovsky (COL), 6 GWG.
