So with 2 assists against Vegas Joe Thornton now has 1017 career assists and was able to pass Joe Sakic who has 1016 career assists. Joe Thornton is now 12th all time in assists and can finally say he's the best playmaking Joe of all time!
Thornton is also a year younger than Sakic was when he scored his 1016th assist. Plus Thornton has also played on much worse teams for most of his career and in a much lower scoring era too. (Sakic did do it in 89 fewer regular season games but lets not get into that here.)
