From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following is a list of ice hockey players who have recorded 600 assists in the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] All players who reach this mark receive an NHL Milestone Award from the league; the award was introduced in 1982, and all who achieved the accomplishment prior to then were also granted the award.[2]
Players with 600 NHL assists [ edit ]
Wayne Gretzky
Ray Bourque
Steve Yzerman
As of completion of the 2022–23 season , 97 players have recorded 600 assists while playing in the NHL.
Of these players, 13 have recorded 1,000 assists while playing in the NHL, led by Wayne Gretzky who has a 714 assist advantage over second-place Ron Francis . Ray Bourque and Paul Coffey are the only defensemen to reach 1,000 assists while Jaromir Jagr is the only non-Canadian player with 1,000 career assists. This alone would place these players on the list of NHL players with 1,000 points , which also earns the NHL Milestone Award.[2]
