22+ mph Speed Bursts per 60: NHL EDGE Leaders

Name: 22+ mph Speed Bursts per 60: NHL EDGE Leaders (2025-26)
Creator: Edgehalla

2025-26All situationsThrough 83 team games

Top speed tells you how fast a player can go; bursts tell you how often he actually does. NHL EDGE counts every time a skater crosses 20 and 22 mph, and this board turns the 22+ count into a rate per 60 minutes so fourth-liners and top-liners compare fairly.

High burst rates line up with players who carry the puck through the neutral zone and win races on dump-ins, which ties back to transition offence.

Leader in 2025-26: Connor McDavid (EDM), 4.81 22+ /60.
