NHL Projected Power Play Assists - Rest of Season - Rest of Season

Power play assists often come from the quarterback position—usually an elite defenseman or playmaking forward. Our PPA projections identify which players are set up to distribute on the man advantage this season. Target teams with high power play opportunity projections.

What drives PPA? Power play assists come from setting up goals on the man advantage. PP quarterbacks and playmaking forwards accumulate the most PPA.

PPA positions

- PP Quarterback: Usually a D-man at the top of the umbrella (Makar, Fox, Hughes) - Half-wall playmaker: Forwards who distribute from the side (Kucherov, McDavid) - Bumper feeder: Players who find teammates in the slot

PPA volume factors

- PP time: PP1 players get most opportunities - Opponent PK: More PP goals = more PPA opportunities - Role: Quarterbacks touch the puck on almost every PP possession

💡
Pro Tip: PP quarterback defensemen often lead teams in assists overall. Target D-men on PP1 for consistent PPA production.
💡

Frequently Asked Questions

We analyze PP1 unit roles, historical PPA rates, playmaking tendencies, opponent PK strength, and team power play efficiency to project PPA leaders this season.
PP quarterbacks—typically elite defensemen like Cale Makar, Adam Fox, and Quinn Hughes—lead in PPA due to their puck-touching role. Playmaking forwards like Kucherov and Point also excel.
PP quarterback defensemen are most consistent for PPA because they touch the puck on nearly every possession. Elite playmaking forwards can match this volume but with more variance.
Target the playmaker who feeds the goal scorer. If Ovechkin is your PPG target, stack Backstrom/Kuznetsov who feed him. For D-men, pair with their one-timer threats.
