Chicago Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews Can’t Be Only Faceoff Savoir

Jonathan Toews has, by far, outperformed the rest of the Chicago Blackhawks by a wide margin on faceoffs in recent seasons, as displayed below:

2017-18 Toews – 57.4% Rest of team – 45.6%

2016-17 Toews – 55.0% Rest of team – 43.8%

2015-16 Toews – 58.6% Rest of team – 44.8%

2014-15 Toews – 56.5% Rest of team – 49.7%

The Blackhawks have struggled greatly this year in winning faceoffs. Other than David Kampf, no one has a faceoff win percentage over 47 while taking more than 70 faceoffs this year. Nick Schmaltz, although his win percentage has gone up 10 percent this year, is still at a bleak 40 percent.
