Point (ice hockey)

This article is about the personal statistic. For the rink area, see The point (ice hockey). For the team statistic, see Group tournament ranking system § Ice hockey.

In ice hockey, a player is credited with one point for either a goal or an assist.

The total number of goals plus assists equals total points. In the National Hockey League (NHL), the Art Ross Trophy is awarded to the player who leads the league in points at the end of the regular season.
