NHL Blocked Shots Leaders: Edmonton Oilers
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 Edmonton Oilers in 2026-27: Connor Murphy (EDM), 12 BLK.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
