Where is the puck while a player is on the ice? NHL EDGE splits every skater's ice time into offensive, neutral and defensive zone time. Offensive-zone share is a territorial cousin of CF%: players who tilt the ice spend more of their shifts attacking.

Deployment matters: players who start most shifts in the offensive zone get a head start, so the OZ starts column is shown beside it.

Leader in 2023-24: Zach Whitecloud (VGK), 70.7% OZ %.
