If a game is tied after regulation time (which lasts three 20-minute periods), there will be a period of "overtime" to decide the winner. The player who scores during these extra five minutes is given the overtime goal. All overtime in the NHL is sudden death—meaning the first team to score is the winner—so the player who scores in overtime also has the game-winning goal.

Shooting percentage is the percentage of shots on goal which result in a goal.
If a game is tied after regulation time (which lasts three 20-minutes periods), there will be as many 20-minute periods of "overtime" as necessary during the playoffs to determine a winner. The player who scores during this extra time is given the overtime goal. All overtime in the NHL is sudden death—meaning the first team to score is the winner—so the player who scores in overtime also has the game-winning goal.
A penalty is given to a player for committing an infraction during the game. The length of the penalty varies depending on the severity of the offence. The amount of penalty minutes recorded for statistical purposes are:
Plus-minus is a statistic that indicates the relative goal differential when a player is on the ice. If the player is on the ice when his team scores even-strength or short-handed, he is given +1; if he is on the ice when the opposing team scores even-strength or short-handed, he is given -1.
Shooting percentage is the percentage of shots on goal which result in a goal.
When a team is given a penalty for committing an infraction (such as tripping another player), the offending player must sit in the penalty box, and his team must play with one fewer player on the ice. The penalized team is said to be "short-handed", while the other team has a "powerplay". If a player scores while his team is on the powerplay, this is recorded as a powerplay goal.

The statistics listed include the 2024–25 NHL regular season and 2025 playoffs.
Active goaltenders (during 2025–26 NHL season) are listed in boldface.
A goaltender achieves a shutout when he does not allow a goal against him, and plays the full game. Since 2005-06, if the game ends in a shootout after a 0-0 scoreless tie, both teams' goaltenders are credited with a shutout, regardless of how many shots are conceded during the shootout.
Goals against average is the average number of goals a goaltender allows over a 60-minute period (the regulation length of a game). It is calculated by multiplying the goals against by 60 minutes, then dividing by the total minutes played.
Save percentage is the percentage of shots on goal that a goaltender stops. It is calculated by dividing the number of saves by the number of shots on goal.
