NHL Goals Leaders: Forwards

2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games

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

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.

Leader in 2019-20: David Pastrnak (BOS), 48 G.
