509 – Number of assists for Nicklas Backstrom over the past decade, the most of any player in the League over that span. Backstrom currently holds a five-assist lead over second-place Claude Giroux, but has accumulated his assist total in 53 fewer games; his assist-per-game rate of .71 is second only to Sidney Crosby (.78) since 1/1/10 (min. 400 games played).
Unsurprisingly, roughly half of his assist total – 255 assists, to be exact – has been in support of his longtime running-mate, Alex Ovechkin.
