Unassisted goals

Is there anywhere the stat of unassisted goals is tracked?

I would be very curious to see who has the most unassisted goals in NHL History, or who has the highest % of unassisted goals.

This is closest I could find to this stat being tracked for any player


Nash was 3rd in career unassisted goals for active players at the time of this article (2016) behind Hossa (2nd) and jagr (1st).



this is a list of most unassisted goals in a season. Unsurprisingly, Gretzky is at the top of the list several times before another name shows up, and of course that name is Lemieux.

The rest are players most of you would have likely guessed. Selanne, Palffy, Bure, Yzerman, Datsyuk.

But I think there are quite a few names some might not have suspected.

Or getting cheap empty netters.

Then and there
Coffey's 8 playoff goals is quite a high number for a defender, even for one of his style and skating ability. I suppose there are some empty netters amongst them.
