NHL Team Hits Rankings

2017-18All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks every NHL team by hits, regular season only. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table; each team links to its own players' hits.

Team hits add up every body check credited to the team's players. Hit counts depend on the home arena's scorer, and teams that chase the puck more hit more.

Leading in 2017-18: Montreal Canadiens, 2,169 HIT.
