What Shots on Goal per 60 measures

This board ranks skaters by shots on goal per 60 minutes of ice time in all situations, so a fourth-liner who plays 9 minutes is compared fairly with a top-pair defenseman who plays 25. Players under the minimum-minutes cutoff are hidden. Shots on Goal per 60 minutes of ice time, all situations.

Rates settle faster than totals but need minutes: early in the season, low-minute players swing the most. A row needs at least 510 minutes to qualify, a bar that rises as the season goes on, so early leaders with a handful of games do not crowd the top.

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. Rates surface low-minute players who already produce; they are the ones to grab when an injury opens up ice time. In 2022-23, 613 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 6.01 and David Pastrnak leads at 15.22.
