NHL Shorthanded Goals Leaders: Minnesota Wild
2017-18All 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 for the Minnesota Wild in 2017-18: Eric Staal (MIN), 2 SHG.
- Completed seasons use the NHL's official power-play and shorthanded totals.

How reliable is it?
Very low counts: a shorthanded goal total from one season says little about the next.
