NHL Faceoffs Won Leaders: Buffalo Sabres
2024-25All situationsThrough 82 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 Buffalo Sabres in 2024-25: Ryan McLeod (BUF), 630 FOW.

How to read it
Total faceoffs won, all situations.
How reliable is it?
Totals follow ice time and role; win rates are a real, repeatable skill once a centre has a few hundred draws.
