Chris Kreider - In the running for an obscure record this season

[benfranklin]

Currently tied for 30th in goals with 9 and dead last with 0 assists. That is a pace for 39 goals and 0 assists (math guy here). Obviously there are players who are goal scorers primarily and their assist totals aren't that high, but 0 is impressive.

Not that this is a real record, but I went back to 1980 and these are the best/worst goal to assist discrepancies I could find. Most star players obviously usually have more assists than goals.

Seems like the closest one is that Bondra season but I don't think Kreider can do it if he plays a full season

That Bondra season is nuts too. 59 goal, 16 assist pace he was on.

Brandon Pirri and his 2014-2015 season in Florida has to be mentioned. He scored 22 goals and had 2 assists in 49 games. That's a 36+3 pace.

 

[EXTRAS]

He's on the pp1 in ny so eventually he will get a bunch of lucky touches for assists.

Yup, definitely due for some Crosbies (2nd assists) on the power play.
