What Goals: forwards measures

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by goals, so they are not buried under the defensemen. Total goals this season, all situations.

Totals reward games played and ice time as much as skill; see the per-60 version for the rate view.

Goals scored this season, every situation including the power play and empty nets. The goal race swings more than the points race, because shooting percentage runs hot and cold. In leagues that split forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together. In 2024-25, 601 forwards qualify for this board; the median is 8 and Leon Draisaitl leads at 52.
