NHL Shorthanded Goals Leaders

2025-26All situationsThrough 82 team games

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

Shorthanded goals are scored while killing a penalty. They are rare, a few per player at most, and usually come from fast forwards on the penalty kill who jump on a bad pass. SHG is a rare category: the leaders often have only three or four. Penalty-kill time is the only real predictor.

Leader in 2025-26: Ryan McLeod (BUF), 5 SHG.
