NHL Power-Play Assists Leaders: Pittsburgh Penguins
2019-20All situationsThrough 71 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 for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2019-20: Evgeni Malkin (PIT), 17 PPA.
- Completed seasons use the NHL's official power-play and shorthanded totals.
