Game winning goals
Nieuwendyk = 93 regular season & 13 playoff Total - 106
Iginla = 84 regular season & 5 playoff Total - 89
Stats are pretty much a wash, but considering that Nieuwendyk has way more playoff games played and had a far better supporting cast than Iginla for the majority of his career, I have to give the edge to Iginla.
Nieuwendyk was a Centre, so faceoff wins is not really a fair comparison.
