2018-19All 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 2018-19: Brent Burns (SJS), 7 PPG.
- Completed seasons use the NHL's official power-play and shorthanded totals.

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.
