Assists per…
There are many way to get a rate stat using assists in the numerator.
You can do your A per your G+A.
You can do your A per team G while you were on the ice.
You can do A per team G while you were on the ice minus your G.
You can do A per team SH while you were on the ice minus your SH. (I think this is what this fellow is doing.)
You can do A per A+Giveaways.
You can do A per ice time.
And of course, for each, you can adjust further for team.
There is a bunch of different ways to do this. Each will let you infer something different, to some extent. It’s a matter of trying to come up with the proper “opportunity space”. I’m not sure which is the best way to do it.
When I was 12 years old or so, I did the third one above. I remember Denis Savard assisting on 75% of his teammates goals. Gretzky was very high as well. I thought it was a decent enough way to do it.
