NHL Shots on Goal Leaders: Defensemen

2023-24All situationsThrough 83 team games

This board ranks defensemen only by shots on goal.

Shots on goal count every shot that the goalie saved or that went in. Volume shooters with power-play time lead the league; shots are the most repeatable scoring stat a skater has. In leagues that split positions, use it to fill your defense slots, and check the per-60 board for defensemen getting more out of fewer minutes.

Leader in 2023-24: Roman Josi (NSH), 268 SOG.
