NHL Blocked Shots Leaders: Defensemen

2024-25All situationsThrough 85 team games

This board ranks defensemen only by blocked shots.

A blocked shot is an opponent's shot attempt stopped by a skater before it reaches the net. Shutdown defensemen and penalty killers dominate, because they spend the most time in front of their own goal. In leagues that split positions, use it to fill your defense slots, and check the per-60 board for defensemen getting more out of fewer minutes.

Leader in 2024-25: Ian Cole (UTA), 211 BLK.
