So I was looking at upcoming free agents and their stats.
Henrik Sedin has 2 goals & 41 assists this year.
I thought that was crazy. That has to be a record for forwards in assists to goals differentials.
As of right now, Sedin would be the only
player in NHL history with 2 or fewer goals and 40 or more assists at the same time.
A number of defensemen have had 2g+30a type seasons, but the forward who comes closest is Art Chapman of the 1938 New York Americans, who had 2 goals and 27 assists. Even finding a forward with 2+20 is exceedingly uncommon. Dallas Drake and Oleg Petrov (both 2+24) are the only other forwards who have done it, ever.
So yes, he's on the verge of setting a seriously fluky record. Something that won't be touched for a LONG time unless they change the scoring system or something.
FWIW, Matt Carle has the all time goal:assist ratio record, with 1 goal and 39 assists in 2011.
