NHL Game-Winning Goals Leaders: Tampa Bay Lightning

2024-25All 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 Tampa Bay Lightning in 2024-25: Nikita Kucherov (TBL), 9 GWG.

How to read it

Goals that were the winning team's (loser's final score + 1)th goal, shootouts excluded.

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).
