NHL EDGE clocks the puck on every shot. This board ranks each player's single hardest shot of the season, the number that decides hardest-shot bragging rights, alongside his average shot speed and how many of his shots topped 90 mph.

Big slappers come mostly from defencemen at the point; use the position filter to see the forwards.

Leader in 2026-27: Rasmus Ristolainen (PHI), 98.2 mph Top shot.
