NHL Goals Leaders: Washington Capitals
2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total goals this season, regular season only.
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. Goals are the scarcest scoring category. Check shots on goal beside them: a scorer without the shot volume to back it up tends to cool off.
Leader for the Washington Capitals in 2017-18: Alex Ovechkin (WSH), 49 G.
