NHL Faceoff Win % Leaders: Tampa Bay Lightning
2025-26All 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 for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2025-26: Nick Paul (TBL), 53.9% FO%.
