NHL Penalty Minutes Leaders: Buffalo Sabres
2018-19All situationsThrough 84 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total penalty minutes this season, regular season only.
Penalty minutes add up every minor, major and misconduct. Fighting majors and misconducts make the total lumpy: one bad night can add 17 minutes. PIM is still a category in many banger leagues. Because it comes in bursts, the season total matters more than any one week.
Leader for the Buffalo Sabres in 2018-19: Brandon Montour (BUF), 56 PIM.
