NHL Time on Ice Leaders: Montreal Canadiens
2024-25All situationsThrough 85 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by average time on ice per game this season, regular season only.
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. Ice time is opportunity: more minutes mean more shots, points, hits and blocks. A jump in a player's last-10 TOI is often the first sign of a promotion.
Leader for the Montreal Canadiens in 2024-25: Mike Matheson (MTL), 25:05 TOI/GP.
