NHL Shorthanded Points Leaders: Washington Capitals
2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by shorthanded points, regular season only, listing players with at least one. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
Shorthanded points are goals plus assists scored while killing a penalty. Speedy penalty-killing forwards lead, but a single breakaway can decide the ranking. SHP is a category in some leagues and rewards penalty killers who would otherwise score little. Expect the leaders to change every season.
Leader for the Washington Capitals in 2019-20: Chandler Stephenson (VGK/WSH), 3 SHP.
