NHL Power-Play Goals Leaders: Defensemen

2025-26All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks defensemen only by power-play goals.

Power-play goals are scored while the team has more skaters on the ice than the opponent. The leaders are the trigger men of first power-play units: the one-timer from the left circle, the net-front tip. For leagues that split positions: which defensemen add power-play goals.

Leader in 2025-26: Darren Raddysh (TBL), 10 PPG.

How to read it

Goals scored with the man advantage (5-on-4, 5-on-3, 4-on-3).

How reliable is it?

Power-play scoring follows power-play time: the share of a team's PP minutes is far more repeatable than the goal total itself.
