NHL Takeaways Leaders: San Jose Sharks
2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by takeaways, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.
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. Takeaways are a category in some deep leagues. Recording changed in 2024-25 (about a third fewer takeaways league-wide), so compare players within a season.
Leader for the San Jose Sharks in 2017-18: Brent Burns (SJS), 75 TK.
- Legacy recording: before 2024-25 turnovers and hits were recorded arena by arena with large scorer bias. Compare players within this season only.
