NHL Assists per 60 Leaders

2023-24All situationsThrough 83 team games

This board ranks skaters by assists per 60 minutes of ice time in all situations, so a fourth-liner who plays 9 minutes is compared fairly with a top-pair defenseman who plays 25. Players under the minimum-minutes cutoff are hidden.

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. Rates surface low-minute players who already produce; they are the ones to grab when an injury opens up ice time.

Leader in 2023-24: Connor McDavid (EDM), 3.70 A/60.
