NHL Faceoff Win % Leaders

2019-20All situationsThrough 71 team games

This board ranks centres and wingers by faceoff win percentage, regular season only, with a minimum number of draws that grows through the season.

Faceoff win percentage is draws won divided by draws taken. The best centres win 57 to 60 percent; the league average is 50 by definition. A strong FO% keeps a centre on the ice for key draws, which helps FOW and ice time. The minimum-draws cutoff keeps part-time centres off the top.

Leader in 2019-20: Sean Couturier (PHI), 59.6% FO%.
