NHL Blocked Shots Leaders: Forwards

2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games

This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by blocked shots, so they are not buried under the defensemen.

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 forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.

Leader in 2019-20: Noel Acciari (FLA), 103 BLK.
