NHL Power-Play Goals Leaders

2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks every NHL skater by power-play goals, regular season only, listing players with at least one. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.

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. PPG feeds both goals and power-play points. A shooter who loses PP1 time usually falls off this board within a few weeks.

Leader in 2017-18: Patrik Laine (WPG), 20 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.
