NHL Shifts Leaders

2025-26All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks every NHL skater by shifts, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2025-26 above the table.

Shifts count every time a player steps onto the ice, from the NHL's shift charts. Defensemen take the most; top pairs approach 30 a night. A few leagues score shifts. More shifts means more ice time, so the board mirrors the time-on-ice leaders with defensemen on top.

Leader in 2025-26: Rasmus Andersson (CGY/VGK), 2,526 SFT.

Season2026-27 2025-26

Shift counts start in 2025-26 and are incomplete: 65 regular-season games of 2025-26 and all of its playoff games have no shift data, so totals for those games are missing.
