What Assists: last 7 days measures
This board ranks NHL skaters by total assists, all situations, over the last 7 days. Players under the minimum sample are hidden, and every row shows the games or minutes behind the number. Total assists, all situations, over the last 7 days.
A short window is a small sample: shots, hits, blocks and ice time carry over from week to week far better than goals and points do. Treat a hot window as a lead to check, not a verdict.
The last 7 days show who is hot right now, which is what waiver decisions turn on. Assists credit the last one or two players to touch the puck before a goal. Playmaking centres and power-play quarterbacks on the blue line top the list, and secondary assists make the totals noisier than goals suggest. In 2017-18, 309 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 1 and Kyle Brodziak leads at 5.
