NHL Power-Play Assists Leaders

2018-19All situationsThrough 82 team games

This board ranks every NHL skater by power-play assists, regular season only, listing players with at least one. Pick any season back to 2017-18 above the table.

Power-play assists go to the passers on man-advantage goals. Quarterbacks on the point and half-wall playmakers dominate, often with more PPA than any forward has PPG. In leagues that score PPA separately, the power-play quarterback defenseman is the prize. Otherwise read this next to the power-play points board.

Leader in 2018-19: Nikita Kucherov (TBL), 33 PPA.
