Takeaways count in some fantasy leagues. Our projection multiplies each player's takeaway rate per 60 minutes, adjusted for home-rink scorer bias and shrunk toward the league average, by LineupExperts' projected ice time. Players with big minutes and a steady takeaway habit lead (Oct 19-25 (Week 4)). (Oct 19-25 (Week 4))

† Edgehalla model: derived from LineupExperts' goals, assists and ice-time projection plus NHL history. +/-, shorthanded goals, assists and points are high-variance: the projections are small expected values ranked mostly by ice-time role, and actual totals swing a lot. How the model works

What is a takeaway? A takeaway occurs when a player gains possession of the puck directly from an opponent through stick work, positioning, or anticipation—without a hit or blocked shot.

Takeaway factors

- Two-way skill: Elite defensive players read plays better - Active stick: Players with quick hands force more turnovers - PK role: Penalty killers pressure puck carriers - Ice time: More minutes = more takeaway opportunities

How we project it

takeaways per 60 minutes over this season and (weighted less) the last two, with each rink's takeaway count corrected for its scorers' tendencies, shrunk toward the position average, times projected ice time. Scorer generosity varies a lot between rinks, which is why the adjustment matters.

Variance

takeaways are a moderately repeatable stat (about 0.4 year to year).

💡
Pro Tip: Ice time drives volume. A takeaway-prone forward who is moving up the lineup gains in this projection immediately.

Two-Way Forwards Next Week

Selke-caliber forwards combine offensive production with defensive excellence, including takeaways. Target responsible two-way centers.

Forwards Projections

Active Stick D-Men

Puck-moving defensemen with quick hands accumulate takeaways. Check D-men projections for defensive playmakers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each player's takeaway rate per 60 minutes (rink-adjusted, recent seasons weighted, shrunk toward the position average) times LineupExperts' projected ice time. We do not adjust for the opponent.
Selke-caliber two-way forwards and active-stick defensemen lead in takeaways. Players like Mark Stone, Mika Zibanejad, and puck-moving D-men excel in this category.
In leagues that count takeaways, they're valuable but often overlooked. Two-way players who rack up takeaways often contribute across multiple categories.
Puck-moving defensemen with active sticks can accumulate significant takeaways. However, two-way forwards typically lead due to their forechecking role.
