What Assists measures
This board ranks every NHL skater by total assists this season, regular season only. Total assists this season, all situations.
Totals reward games played and ice time as much as skill; see the per-60 version for the rate view.
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. Assists are a standard category and pile up for players on the top power-play unit. A defenseman racking up assists is usually on PP1; check the power-play points board to confirm. In 2020-21, 26 skaters qualify for this board; the median is 10 and Mark Scheifele leads at 42.
