What makes a great playmaker? Assists often outnumber goals for elite players. The best playmakers create scoring chances through vision, passing, and power play quarterbacking.
Types of assists
- Primary assists: The pass directly before the goal (most valuable) - Secondary assists: The pass before the primary assist - Power play assists: Assists on man-advantage goals (high-volume for PP QBs)
Key factors
- Linemates: Playing with elite finishers = more assist opportunities - PP role: PP1 quarterbacks (usually D-men or centers) lead in assists - Ice time: More minutes = more chances to set up goals
💡
Pro Tip: Target players centering elite goal scorers. If Draisaitl scores, McDavid likely gets the assist—and vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions
We analyze line combinations, power play usage, linemate shooting tendencies, opponent defensive structure, and historical playmaking rates to project This Week's assist leaders.
Connor McDavid, Nikita Kucherov, Nathan MacKinnon, and defensemen like Cale Makar and Adam Fox consistently lead in assists due to their elite vision and PP1 roles.
Generally yes. Elite playmakers accumulate assists more consistently than goal scorers because they can influence multiple scoring chances per game through their passing.
In most formats, they're equally weighted. However, assists are slightly more consistent while goals have higher variance. Playmakers often provide better floor, while goal scorers offer higher ceiling.
