#4 Mark Recchi – 395
#14 NHL All-time – 956
#4 has Mark Recchi, with 395 Assists. The 22 year career of Recchi, in which he played for many teams, also allowed him to accumulate a lot of assists in his career. This led to him being #14 All-time in assists, which is a heck of a feat.
Originally playing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, Recchi was traded to the Flyers in 1992. On the Flyers he would be a part of the “Crazy Eights”, which included Eric Lindros and Brent Fedyk, and even put up 123 points in his first full season with the Flyers.
Recchi’s career with the Flyers was split up in 1995 when he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens, but was brought back in 1998 where he would play for 6 seasons.
Known as one of the best scorers on the Flyers while playing for them, he always had a good year with them.
Recchi retired after the 2010-11 season after a 3-year stint in Boston, and is now a development coach on the Penguins.
