NHL Shifts Leaders: Detroit Red Wings
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 for the Detroit Red Wings in 2025-26: Moritz Seider (DET), 2,248 SFT.
- 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.

How to read it
Shifts taken, from the shift charts (2025-26 onward).
How reliable is it?
Shifts follow ice time and position; the 2025-26 totals miss the games without shift charts.
