Dano leads in turnover ratio stat

Marko Dano, Copenhagen, RW

If a quick look at league statistics can be trusted, Marko Dano, 22, is definitely pulling his weight in Copenhagen as a second-line right wing. Dano leads the league in turnover ratio, having taken away 34 pucks and given up only 14 for a ratio of +20 through 22 games played.

At the other end of the spectrum is another right wing, Patric Hornquist, who is -25 through 21 games for St. Petersburg. He is just below a guy we all think of as one of the best two-way players in hockey, Patrice Bergeron of Zurich.

Here are the top turnover ratio players at each position so far this season:

Left Wings Centers Right Wings

Jamie Benn, Edin. +16 Nazem Kadri, Gen. +19 Marko Dano, Cope. +20

Max Pacioretty, Mosc. +15 Tyler Seguin, Oslo +14 Patrick Kane, Minsk +17

Defense

Jamie McBain, Bern +13 Eric Gryba, Mun., +13

Matt Carle, Dublin +12 Andrej Meszaros, Mad., +10

Doug Hamilton, Cope., +9 Alex Pietrangelo, Paris +9

And, as I like to do, I divided the ratio by the player’s average Time on Ice (TOI) to see who would be the best if everyone had the same ice time:
