Stanley Cup Winning Goal Scorers
This list pays homage to all the players who have done what everyone who has ever laced up the skates has dreamed of doing someday: score the goal that clinches the Stanley Cup for their team. What young hockey player hasn’t played out the scenario hundreds of times on the pond or local rink?
Of course the ultimate scenario would be burying the puck in overtime of game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals, but any goal that proves to be the eventual Stanley Cup winner gets your name on this list. Below are everyone who has ever scored a Stanley Cup winning goal, including the year, team they won The Cup for, in which game of the finals and the period they scored in. To see all the Stanley Cup winning teams by year, check out our complete list at Stanley Cup Winners.
Games are listed as the game that the Cup was won in/best of series format. Example: 6/7 means the Cup was won in game 6 of a best of 7 series. *2GT refers to 2 game total point format.
