Continuing with our NHL in a Decade series, we look at the players who look the most ice time in the NHL. These are the guys that play a lot of minutes and a lot of big minutes. Of course a number of NHL defensemen make this list and it should be no surprise who is on this list.

Some fun facts:

• There have been six NHL players who have averaged over 25 minutes per game over the past ten season.
• Only two forwards made the list of top one hundred in terms of time on ice: Connor McDavid and Anze Kopitar.
• In the 2018-19 NHL season, Jimmy Schuldt played one game with the Vegas Golden Knights a played a solid 21:03 in a game where he had an assist and was a minus one.
• Thomas Chabot of the Ottawa Senators is already thirteenth in the list with an average ice time of 24:07.
