Zach Werenski has more goals than assists and leads dmen in goals scored
- Thread starter hi
- Start date
I'll guess Burns and Boyle and after that I'm out. Fun fact also since his debut only Burns and Karlson have more goals.
Side note apparently leading the league in goals for a defenseman isn't enough to stop the powerhouse Letang from making the all-star team.

Don’t say eye test when you mean points
Not to be hijack the thread, but I didn't realize Burns was only 4 back of the goal scoring lead for defensemen. I guess it's just a low scoring year for defensemen and goals!
To answer the question, I don't know a single defenseman who led the NHL in goals by a D and had more goals than assists. Somebody else mentioned Burns but he definitely never has. Sheldon Souray is one name I might guess.

Yes Ekman-Larsson is the most recent player to do it in 2014-15
Gonchar had 21 goals and 10 assists in 53 games the same year that Aucoin (23 goals) accomplished this. If he had played the full season he most likely would have outscored Aucoin.
Mohns never did it. The last 3 players are pretty difficult so I will give some hints:
2002-03 season with the Predators
1967-68 season with the Rangers
The final player accomplished this 4 times between 1954-1959 with the Blackhawks and Red Wings

I would've also guessed Phillipe Boucher, I recall him having at least one standout year in Dallas.
Hockey- Reference lists Reggie Fleming as a LW for the '68 season so I'm wondering if he actually counts
McIntyre is also listed at wing in the seasons in question

Good catch. Fleming and McIntyre were the last 2 that went unguessed
On nhl.com they were listed as Dmen those seasons. If true that Fleming and McIntyre played wing during those seasons then this has only happened 3 times since 1954-55.
Injuries to key players and the PP last year being hit and this year being miss is a big reason for that. Also injuries caused Torts to change to even more def focus and Werenski and Jones habe been reigned in a little to focus on being solid.
Before that Z was on a tear. Jones has been hot since the change. Just a fun fact.
in 2017-2018 he had more assists than goals, but it's nice to know that at some point in that season, some random point in that season, he had more goals than assists.
