Genitalia joke aside, a singular value won’t account for what you are asking, as that is not how statistics operate.  Search for patterns across the larger data set of Game Winning Goals to determine if that information can be a valuable assessment tool.

And then look at points earned numerically in shots for a more rigid and fleshed out analysis.

GWG should be ignored altogether, as it isn't recorded in real time and is dependent on things which happen after the GWG is scored.

The former reason is not a sufficient criteria for dismissal and the latter is non sensical in your proposed application.  Statistical analysis does not soley operate as the contextualization of significant events in relation to non significant events, you are limiting your scope and the resulting information retrieval will suffer.
