You’ve no doubt heard the old adage that great players make ‘the players around them better’. In hockey, there’s no better validation of that quality than the assist. In 2016-2017, there was no better facilitator than Connor McDavid who had 70 assists to go along with 30 goals en route to winning the Hart Memorial Trophy for the NHL’s most valuable player. Not bad for a 20 year old in his second NHL season.
The frightening thing is that ‘McJesus’ is only going to get better over the next few years. That’s why he’s the favorite to repeat as the league’s assists leader. If anyone has a shot to catch him it might be Anaheim’s Ryan Getzlaf, Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom or Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman. Below, you’ll find the official SPORTS BETTING EXPERTS odds to lead the NHL in assists as well as some head to head player matchups.
