NHL Projected Faceoffs Lost - Rest of Season
Some points leagues take points away for faceoffs lost. This projection is projected faceoffs taken minus projected faceoffs won. The list opens with the centers projected to lose the most draws, which means the highest-volume centers: they lose the most even when they win most of their draws.
Season Outlook: Oct 4 through Apr 10, 2027

Volume
faceoffs taken per 60 minutes from the player's own recent history, times LineupExperts' projected ice time.
Win rate
faceoff percentage shrunk toward 50.5% with the weight of about 96 faceoffs.
Faceoffs lost = faceoffs taken − projected faceoffs won.
Track record
over the rest of a season the projection is well calibrated (top three deciles within 8% of actual totals), but in one one-week window of our backtest it did slightly worse than a naive per-game rate, so treat single-week numbers as rough.
💡
Pro Tip: In leagues that score FOW and FOL, net faceoffs (won minus lost) is what matters: a high-volume center above 50% still nets positive.

† 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

Frequently Asked Questions
Faceoffs lost scale with how many draws a player takes. A top-line center taking 20 a night loses more than a fourth-liner taking 6, even at a better percentage.
Over the rest of a season they are well calibrated. Over a single week they are noisier: in one weekly window of our backtest a naive per-game rate did slightly better.
Those centers cost the most in leagues that penalise lost faceoffs, and they are mostly the busiest centers. A fewest-first list would be topped by players who barely take draws. Click the column to flip it.
