NHL Time on Ice Leaders: Forwards
2025-26All situationsThrough 83 team games
This board ranks forwards only (centres and wingers) by average time on ice per game, so they are not buried under the defensemen.
Average time on ice per game, all situations. Number-one defensemen top the board at 24 to 27 minutes a night; the leading forwards play 21 to 23. In leagues that split forwards and defensemen, this is the board for your forward slots; centres and wingers are pooled together.
Leader in 2025-26: Connor McDavid (EDM), 22:59 TOI/GP.
