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

Fantasy value

Takeaways are a niche category in some leagues. When available, target Selke-caliber forwards and puck-moving D-men.

💡
Pro Tip: Selke Trophy candidates like Patrice Bergeron types consistently lead in takeaways. Target two-way centers for this category.
