The most face-off wins in an NHL game are 31 by Patrice Bergeron (Canada) while playing for the Boston Bruins (USA) in a 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks (Canada) on February 24, 2015. Bergeron won 31 of 38 face-offs (85 percent) in the game. The NHL began officially tracking face-off statistics for records purposes since the 2005-06 season. Face-offs are used to begin and restart play: a referee or linesman will drop the puck at the appropriate face-off spot (or centre spot following a goal or start of a new period), with each team fielding a chosen player to attempt to win possession.
