How to play the NHL career assists game

This deck ranks NHL players by career assists. Each card gives the player's position as a letter, C, L, R or D, and current players are also marked active. One playmaker starts on the line with his assist total in view. For each new card, choose a gap. A right answer reveals the number, and a wrong one moves him to his real spot while taking one of your three lives.

Playmaking centers dominate, but offensive defensemen show up here far more than they do on scoring lists, so a D on the card doesn't mean a low total. Long careers count for a lot. The middle and lower parts of the deck are packed with very close totals, and active players are still climbing.
