NHL Shots on Goal Leaders: Defensemen
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 2026-27: Evan Bouchard (EDM), 12 SOG.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
