NHL Takeaways Leaders: Los Angeles Kings
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 Los Angeles Kings in 2026-27: Quinton Byfield (LAK), 6 TK.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
