What goes into NHL Practice Squad boards
The stat is goals, assists or points, ranked across everyone who got at least one.
A defenseman with one goal in a full season is a near perfect answer.
Goalies with a single assist count too. They’re some of the best answers on an assists board.
Look for stay-at-home defensemen and fourth line grinders.
