NHL Game-Winning Goals Leaders: Carolina Hurricanes
2023-24All situationsThrough 82 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 Carolina Hurricanes in 2023-24: Sebastian Aho (CAR), 10 GWG.

How reliable is it?
Game-winning goals are goals plus timing luck: year-to-year correlation is weak (about 0.1 beyond what goals explain).
