Every NHL team has one — the player it can't win without.

With the league on pause until at least Tuesday, we've combed through each roster to find the player having the biggest impact. Sometimes it was easy to spot that player, in other instances, a closer look was required.

The bottom line is that an indispensable player is greater than the sum of his stats. He's the player a team can't afford to lose, the true backbone of its success — often both on and off the ice.

Some clubs have a few good candidates who fit the bill. On this list though, there can be only one who makes the cut.

Anaheim Ducks

Most indispensable: Troy Terry

I know what you're thinking. John Gibson. Trevor Zegras. Ryan Getzlaf! All of them are pretty integral to Anaheim's success too. The tie here goes to Terry for his consistency. When you have a player producing like he does (Terry has 10 more goals than anyone else on the Ducks and a gaudy 24.3 shooting percentage), it's hard to imagine rolling along without that talent in your lineup.

Arizona Coyotes

Most indispensable: Shayne Gostisbehere

It matters a ton that Gostisbehere keeps showing up for the Coyotes, even in a difficult season. He's still a playmaker (and second on the team in points, with 18), still offers solid defending and moves the puck well. That's a lot to work with, and Arizona depends on that consistency.

Boston Bruins

Most indispensable: Brad Marchand

Probably no one likes playing against Marchand. Guys sure do like playing with him, though. Marchand has scored at a nice clip all year (27 points in 21 games) and he's one of the Bruins' key leaders, setting a tone that means even more when Boston's struggling for consistency as it has. Marchand's voice is valued as much as his contributions, and that's difficult to replace.
