The ‘P’ in hockey stats stands for ‘Points’. A player gets one point for each goal or assist that they score and ‘Points’ are the cumulative total of all the goals and assists that a player accumulates.
Yes, both goals and assists both count as one point. For each goal scored in the NHL it can have up to two assists – a primary, and secondary assist. Both the goal and each of the assists will count as one point towards the players stats.

The letter “P” in hockey stats stands for “points,” which are earned by players in a game by either scoring goals or assisting on goals. Points are a crucial measure of a player’s offensive contribution to the game. It reflects a player’s ability to both score goals and create scoring opportunities for their teammates. A goal is worth one point, while an assist is also worth one point. In addition to goals and assists, there are no other ways to earn points in hockey.
