NHL Faceoffs Lost Leaders
2020-21All situationsThrough 56 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by faceoffs lost, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
Faceoffs lost counts every draw a player loses. Because volume drives it, busy centres lead this board as well as the faceoffs won board. A few leagues score FOL as a negative. It mostly measures how many draws a centre takes; read it next to faceoff percentage.
Leader in 2020-21: Sidney Crosby (PIT), 586 FOL.
