[16-Feb-2016] #KuzyaWatchin'

Stick tap to RMNB!

Evgeny Kuznetsov has 33 primary assists this season, three shy of the single-season record since the 2012-13 season. Three. He has a good chance, with the 28 games the Caps have left to play, of shattering that record. 

The all-time record for primary assists in a season ... no clue. 

Here's what I have dug up (stick tap to Stats.HockeyAnalysis.com):

2007-08: Pavel Datsyuk (44 in 82 GP)
2008-09: Sid Crosby (51 in 77 GP)
2009-10: Henrik Sedin (46 in 82 GP)
2010-11: Martin St. Louis (46 in 82 GP)
2011-12: Evgeni Malkin (46 in 75 GP)
2012-13: Sid Crosby (29 in 36 GP - season shortened by lockout)
2013-14: Joe Thornton (36 in 82 GP)
2014-15: Daniel Sedin (35 in 82 GP)
2015-16: Evgeny Kuznetsov (33 in 54 GP)

The target is Crosby's 2008-09 51 primary assists in 77 games played. Let's keep an eye on Kuzya... why? #KuzyaCAN!

 
Here's the counter board for Kuzya's big apples!
