NHL Goals per 60 Leaders

2021-22All situationsThrough 82 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 2021-22: Auston Matthews (TOR), 2.39 G/60.
