NHL Player Stats: xG Leaders, Defense & Goalie Rankings
Explore skater offense, skater defense, and goalie performance side-by-side. Use the tabs to switch between leaderboards.
Want team context? Visit xG Analysis or NHL team pages.
Coverage note: NHL shift chart data is missing for a large share of games this season.
Metrics that rely on shift charts (lineup and defensive tables) may be incomplete or empty at certain filters.
If a team looks empty at 5v5, try a different lineup size, situation, or TOI cutoff.
Offense — Top 50 Skaters by xG
| # | Player | Team | GP | Unblocked attempts | xG | Goals | S% | xG% |
|---|
S% = goals per shot on goal for current exports; goals per unblocked attempt for legacy exports | xG% = Goals as percentage of Expected Goals
