If you happen to be a man (or two) down, you might not be on the short end of the stick when it comes to these five players.

T-1. Antoine Vermette – 22

In 2005-06, his first full NHL season, Vermette notched six short-handed tallies. The Quebec native netted 13 of his 22 short-handers during his time with the Ottawa Senators. He also has seven career short-handed assists.

4. Tomas Plekanec – 20

Montreal’s veteran centreman contributed a pair of short-handed goals in 2016-17. Plekanec has eight man-down markers over the past four NHL seasons, including three in both 2013-14 and 2014-15.
