What is the definition of game winning goal in NHL?
The game winning goal is the goal that would result in the player's team winning as if that team didn't score any more goals. For example, say Players A, B and C play for Team 1, and Players X, Y and Z play for their opponent, Team 2. Say Player A and Player X score one goal apiece for their respective teams, tying the game in the first period. In the second period, Player B scores an unanswered goal (making the score 2-1), and in the third period Player C scores another unanswered goal (3-1). Player B has the game winner because his goal put Team 1 ahead for the duration--Team 1 would have won the game even without Player C's goal. But say Team 1 is leading Team 2 by a score of 2-1. Player Y scores, tying the game at 2-2, and then Player Z scores, given Team 2 a 3-2 lead, which turns out to be the final score. Player Z has the game winner.
