NHL Faceoff Win % Leaders

2024-25All situationsThrough 82 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 2024-25: Claude Giroux (OTT), 61.5% FO%.
