Does the player who scores the winning shoot-out goal count as an official goal? I can't imagine that every goal scored in the shoot-out will be counted, but I could be wrong. |

From what I have heard, the shootout goals will not be counted as individual stats goals at all. And the game's final score will just be the end of overtime score, plus 1.

Maybe they should add in a new category for 'team goals' then. And they get +1 for team goals if they win the shootout. Otherwise the goals for and goals against stats are gonna be screwed up.

straight from the NHL site:
How will the final score of a game that goes to shootout read?
If a game is tied 3-3 after regulation and eventually goes to a shootout, the final score of the game will be 4-3 (regardless the number of goals scored in the shootout).
How will statistics from a game that goes to shootout be accounted for?
No individual statistics will be awarded from performance in a shootout (e.g. no goals -- or game-winning goals -- credited to scorer; no saves or goals against charged to a goaltender). Also, a goalie will not be charged with a loss to his record should he lose in overtime (this is a change from current practice) or in a shootout. Instead, such a decision would be added to the goalie's OT column (e.g. same as team standings -- GP W L OT).
