NHL Projected Giveaways - Rest of Season
A few leagues subtract points for giveaways. Our projection multiplies each player's giveaway rate per 60 minutes, adjusted for home-rink scorer bias and shrunk toward his position's average, by LineupExperts' projected ice time. The list opens with the players projected to commit the most giveaways: usually puck-carrying defensemen with big minutes.
Season Outlook: Oct 4 through Apr 10, 2027

Rate
giveaways per 60 minutes over this season and (weighted less) the last two. Home-game counts are divided by that rink's scorer factor, because some arenas record far more giveaways than others.
Shrinkage
the rate is pulled toward the position average with the weight of about 415 minutes for forwards and 910 for defensemen, so a hot or cold week moves it only a little.
Projected giveaways = rate × projected ice time ÷ 60.
Recording change
from 2024-25 the NHL's scorers record roughly twice as many giveaways as before, so compare players within a season, not across eras.
Track record
in our 2025-26 backtest the projection beat a naive per-game rate at every cutoff, with the top three deciles within 3% of actual totals.
💡
Pro Tip: Giveaways follow puck touches. The defensemen who lead in giveaways usually lead in assists and ice time too: the penalty rarely outweighs what they add.

† 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
Puck-moving defensemen
The players with the most giveaways are often the ones driving offence from the back.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each player's rink-adjusted giveaway rate per 60 minutes (recent seasons weighted, shrunk toward the position average) times LineupExperts' projected ice time.
From 2024-25 the NHL records roughly twice as many giveaways a season as it did before. The projection uses recent rates, so it already reflects the new recording.
Those are the players who cost the most in leagues that subtract for giveaways. Players with few projected minutes give the puck away least simply because they barely play, so a fewest-first list is not useful. Click the column to flip it.
