I noticed Tage Thompson scored tonight against Carolina an AWD goal, which is basically scoring a goal without scoring a goal.

Do we have some kind of history stats of these? Like, all-time leaders, how many there have been by season-basis, anything similar? I feel these are rare, but nothing like "goals scored by a goalie"-rare.
 
Probably not if that label is new. I used to be under the impression (perhaps incorrectly) that awarded goals had the assists wiped. But even that isn't nearly enough of an indicator.

Maybe @morehockeystats or even @Doctor No has a sense of the shape of this type of data...

I imagine data before 2008 would be extremely thin, but last year 8000 goals or so, so 4-5 time a year can give some idea of the rarity.

If teams got more aggressive with goaltender removal, maybe they got more common too.
 
Based on the spreadsheet data:

All time AWG goal leaders:

Alexander Radulov 2
Jonathan Huberdeau 2
Rick Nash 2

Assists:

Connor Brown 2
Mitch Marner 2

Points:

All of the above 2
Artemi Panarin 2
Erik Haula 2
Jamie Benn 2
Joe Pavelski 2
Joel Eriksson Ek 2
Jonas Brodin 2
Mikko Rantanen 2
Paul Stastny 2

Nine of these players are active. I wonder if one of them can pick up one more to become the all-time undisputed AWD points king.
 
@pnep nor in the boxscore JSON.
