NHL Game-Winning Goals Leaders: Pittsburgh Penguins

2025-26All 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 Pittsburgh Penguins in 2025-26: Ben Kindel (PIT), 4 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).
