New Expanded Assists Totals
Posted by Mike on February 20, 2013
Player pages now have expanded assists totals going back to the 1967-68 season, located in the NHL Standard stats section of each page. Compiled from Hockey Summary Project boxscore data, the data breaks out short-handed, power play, and even strength assists, so you can learn that Wayne Gretzky had 15 short-handed assists in 1985-86.
Any chance we'll also get box scores going back to 1967-68 as well anytime soon?
