The SHL Hockey guide takes a look at some of the best and worst face off specialists in the game as well as those go to guys, sleeper picks and late round bargains when it comes to the men working towards maintaining the puck.

Top 3 Face-off Targets for Fantasy Drafts

1. Robert Phelps (@DrunkenTeddy)
Phelps has been a stud in the league for years, but is also one of the best face-off men in the league. Phelps won more than half (58.1%) in the preseason and should keep his stellar number up.

2. Mikhail Lokitonov (@ml002)
Star center Mikhail Lokitonov will not only score you a lot of points, but he also wins face-offs. Loki has won 57.47% of his faceoffs after the preseason and is known across the league as a faceoff ace.

3. Dermot Lavelle (@White Cornerback)
Yet another scoring center cracks the list in Buffalo star Dermot Lavelle, who's won 57.44% of his faceoffs. He'll get you a lot of points in fantasy both scoring and faceoff wise.

2 Players Not To Target

Alexander Selich (@Tomen)
Selich is a very promising young center who's getting third line time with a very good Stampede team, but on 786 faceoffs taken, Selich has only won 34.51%. He needs to get his numbers up.

Kire Yelkrab (@emBARK)
The young Chiefs center had an abysmal preseason faceoffs wise, only winning 34% of his 703 faceoffs. He really needs to improve those numbers, as it means he's consistently dominated in the faceoff circle.
