NHL Game-Winning Goals Leaders: Dallas Stars
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.

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).
