NHL Assists Leaders: Tampa Bay Lightning
2025-26All situationsThrough 83 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 Tampa Bay Lightning in 2025-26: Nikita Kucherov (TBL), 86 A.
