In 2011-12, Ilya Kovalchuk had 46 regular season assists and 9 in the playoffs. In this post, I reviewed all of the secondary assists he earned last season and found that only a few were not from passes.

Looking at secondary assists a little deeper, by separating forwards and defensemen. Interesting results, and I'm not just saying that to hook you.
