Matthew has scored 56 assists, 19 shy of the first position. The record is held by veteran Jonathan Huberdeau, who scored 85 assists in 80 games in 2021-22. Although, Matthew can overtake Aleksander Barkov’s 61 (in 2018-19) and Huberdeau’s 62 (in 2018-19) if continues the same form.
Matthew Tkachuk is also on track to beat Alex Ovechkin’s record of 31 MPGs in their first season for a team. He is currently tied with Artemi Panarin in the third position.
