assists
Explanation:
In ice hockey, an assist is attributed to up to two players of the scoring team who shot, passed or deflected the puck towards the scoring teammate, or touched it in any other way which enabled the goal, meaning that they were "assisting" in the goal. There can be a maximum of two assists per goal. The assists will be awarded in the order of play, with the last player to pass the puck to the goal scorer getting the primary assist and the player who passed it to the primary assister getting the secondary assist. If a player scores off of a rebound given up by a goaltender, assists are still awarded, as long as there is no re-possession by that goaltender, meaning he or she did not have complete control of the puck.

Als Assist (englisch) bezeichnet man eine Aktion bei verschiedenen Mannschaftssportarten, die nicht selbst direkt zum Erfolg führt, diesen aber unmittelbar vorbereitet. Deutsche Bezeichnungen dafür sind in etwa „Pass“ oder „Vorlage“, jedoch kommt es beim Assist darauf an, ob die anschließende Aktion auch zum Erfolg führt.
