NHL Takeaways Leaders: Defensemen

2022-23All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks defensemen only by takeaways.

A takeaway is a puck won from an opponent by a skater's own effort, as judged by the off-ice scorer. Smart two-way forwards with active sticks lead the league. For leagues that split positions: which defensemen add takeaways.

Leader in 2022-23: Adam Fox (NYR), 88 TK.
