NHL Assists Leaders: Montreal Canadiens
2026-27All situationsThrough 3 team games
This board ranks every NHL skater by total assists this season, regular season only.
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.
Leader for the Montreal Canadiens in 2026-27: Nick Suzuki (MTL), 3 A.
- Early sample: teams have played at most 3 games in 2026-27. Expect big swings.
