NHL Giveaways Leaders: San Jose Sharks
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 for the San Jose Sharks in 2018-19: Brent Burns (SJS), 118 GV.
- Legacy recording: before 2024-25 turnovers and hits were recorded arena by arena with large scorer bias. Compare players within this season only.

How to read it
Pucks given away by the player's own error, as credited by the scorer.
How reliable is it?
More touches mean more giveaways: the leaders are often the best puck carriers, not the worst.
