NHL Shots on Goal Leaders: Forwards

2024-25All situationsThrough 85 team games

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by shots on goal, so they are not buried under the defensemen.

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 forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.

Leader in 2024-25: Nathan MacKinnon (COL), 320 SOG.
