NHL Giveaways Leaders

2018-19All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks every NHL skater by giveaways, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.

A giveaway is a puck lost to the opponent through a player's own error. Puck carriers who handle it most give it away most, so stars appear near the top of this list. Giveaways are a negative category in a few leagues. Since 2024-25 the league records about twice as many as before, so compare within a season only.

Leader in 2018-19: Mike Matheson (FLA), 135 GV.

How to read it

Pucks given away by the player's own error, as credited by the scorer.

More touches mean more giveaways: the leaders are often the best puck carriers, not the worst.
