Well I found the teams

Zach Hyman seems to score all the Leafs' empty net goals.

If the opposition stops playing a goalie, Hyman might win a Rocket one of these years.

It’s not technically an “open net” when the goalie just can’t push across fast enough to cover the one-timer. Those are just called “power play goals”

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Pacioretty is usually leading this category.

Iirc most of hymans goals this year have been either empty netters or misplay/broken plays like Hyman shooting it off someone and it going in. Quite comical.

 

[Duke749]

Wheeler probably has the most Empty Net assists. Him and Scheif are always out late.

 

[Paris in Flames]

I honestly don't think you're going to find Empty Net Points anywhere. Definitely goals...but points? ehhhhh.

4 out of 8 at empty net. It's not surprising to see that 50% of Hyman's goals are into an empty net though.....actually...it's probably more surprising that MORE of his goals aren't empty net.

 

[Tofveve]

Iggy. Oops, he's retired now. NVM.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Kane and Toews have a bunch this year...

 

[Smelling Salt]

Kyle Connor seems like he must have 4 or 5 EN goals this season

1 of the reason +/- doesn't mean much in the NHL. You still get a - for an empty net goal against & it's always the same players for each team. The other team is eventually get a chance when they're pulling the goalie with 4 minutes left like they're doing now.

 

[Slapshot Sultan]

Have I actually found a stat, that is not recorded in the nhl?

Numbers aren't correct. The scored and allowed don't come anywhere close to adding up.

I think it just means that when a team is playing with an empty net, how many times they've scored and how many ENGs they've given up. For example, Calgary has pulled their goalie 15 times and scored 3 times in those occasions but given up 4 empty netters against. The for / against numbers won't cancel each other out.

Pacioretty is usually leading this category.

uh...OK?

 

[krutovsdonut]

what about empty net goal assists?

 

[DFC]

uh...OK?

So TB fans's suspicions were correct: We really do struggle to score empty net goals.

 

[KingBogo]

Wheeler probably has the most Empty Net assists. Him and Scheif are always out late.

And score a lot. The Jets 2nd only to Calgary with 13 empty net goals.

You have to switch between with an empty net and against an empty net. Scored and allowed don't need to add up. Sometimes neither team scores.

Just looked at the empty net career goal leaders and top 3 leeches are:

Gretzky 56
Hossa 40
Ovechkin/Lemieux 33

So they have probably around 10 empty net points each on the season

I don't consider empty net scoring as leeching at all. Teams usually employ guys in this role with high end skill that can anticipate plays and track down loose pucks when defending with the other team's goalie pulled. These guys are then players able to clear the zone under pressure and get the puck into a position to score. Preserving wins is an important part of being a successful team.
