NHL Shots on Goal per 60 Leaders
2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games
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 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.
Leader in 2017-18: Alex Ovechkin (WSH), 12.89 SOG/60.
