NHL Team Goals Against Rankings

2020-21All situationsThrough 56 team games

This board ranks every NHL team by goals against, lowest first, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table; each team links to its own players' goals against.

Team goals against count every goal allowed while a goalie was in net; empty-net goals are excluded because no goalie is charged with them. Fewest is best.

Leading in 2020-21: New York Islanders, 118 GA.
