NHL Blocked Shots Leaders: Minnesota Wild
2020-21All situationsThrough 57 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total blocked shots this season, regular season only.
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. Blocks are a common peripheral category. Defensemen supply most of them; the forwards and defensemen splits below help when you need one position.
Leader for the Minnesota Wild in 2020-21: Jared Spurgeon (MIN), 102 BLK.
