How to count GROUP BY rows in T-SQL

I have this SQL query that does a GROUP BY to merge together all rows that contain the same Player_id but not the same Game_id:

SELECT p.Player_id, 
       p.Name, 
       p.Position, 
       SUM(s.Goals) AS goalsb, 
       SUM(s.Assists) AS assistsb, 
       SUM(s.Points) AS pointsb
FROM Dim_Player AS p 
INNER JOIN Fact_Statistics AS s ON s.Player_id = p.Player_id
GROUP BY p.Player_id, p.Name, p.Position
ORDER BY pointsb DESC, goalsb DESC

What I want to do is implant a COUNT each time the GROUP BY merges a row with another to create a new column called "Games played". Example:

Player_id      Game_id    goalsb
8470598        465        1
8470598        435        1

this will be grouped together with the SQL query above to become:

Player_id          goalsb
8470598            2

But I want to have this:

Player_id          goalsb       Games_played
8470598            2            2

If you have repeating Game_id's and you'd like to count the distinct values, you can add a

COUNT (DISTINCT Game_id)

clause to your SELECT statement.
