NHL Goals per 60 Leaders
2020-21All situationsThrough 57 team games
This board ranks skaters by goals per 60 minutes of ice time in all situations, so a fourth-liner who plays 9 minutes is compared fairly with a top-pair defenseman who plays 25. Players under the minimum-minutes cutoff are hidden.
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. Rates surface low-minute players who already produce; they are the ones to grab when an injury opens up ice time.
Leader in 2020-21: Auston Matthews (TOR), 2.19 G/60.

How to read it
Goals per 60 minutes of ice time, all situations.
How reliable is it?
Rates settle faster than totals but need minutes: early in the season, low-minute players swing the most.
