NHL Time on Ice Leaders: Pittsburgh Penguins
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 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 Pittsburgh Penguins in 2026-27: Samuel Girard (PIT), 21:07 TOI/GP.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
