NHL Faceoffs Won Leaders: Montreal Canadiens
2020-21All situationsThrough 56 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by faceoffs won, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
Faceoffs won counts every draw a player wins. Top-six centres who take 20 draws a night lead the total; the faceoff percentage board shows who wins them most often. FOW is a category in many deeper leagues and favours volume: a centre who takes every key draw beats a better but less used one.
Leader for the Montreal Canadiens in 2020-21: Phillip Danault (MTL), 476 FOW.

How reliable is it?
