NHL Shots on Goal Leaders: Washington Capitals
2020-21All situationsThrough 57 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total shots on goal this season, regular season only.
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. SOG is a standard category and the best early-season predictor of goals. A player shooting a lot but scoring little is usually due.
Leader for the Washington Capitals in 2020-21: Alex Ovechkin (WSH), 182 SOG.
