Clutch Index

Which NHL skaters come through when it matters. Every goal and assist earns points, more when it wins or ties a game late, and more again in the playoffs.

A goal counts once, at the highest value it qualifies for. An overtime winner is worth 2, not 2 plus the game-winner and the goal.
Game-winning goal uses the NHL's definition: the goal that put the winning team one ahead of the other team's final total.
Late tying goal: ties the game in the last five minutes of the third period, or with the scoring team's goalie pulled. Go-ahead goal: breaks a tie in the third period.
Shootout winner is the goal that decided the shootout. Do or die: a goal where a miss would have lost the game.
Multipliers apply to everything scored in those games. Facing elimination means the player's team was out with a loss; Game 7 counts for both teams.
Clutch share is the part of a player's index that came from clutch moments: what's left after his goals and assists are counted at their plain value. Per-game views only include players with at least 40% of the most games anyone has played, and clutch share only players with at least a quarter of the leader's index.
Skaters only. Counts come from NHL.com play-by-play and are checked against NHL.com's official stats every morning.
