NHL Giveaways Leaders: Buffalo Sabres
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 Buffalo Sabres in 2026-27: Louis Crevier (BUF), 6 GV.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.

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.
