Assists don't count towards teamplay. What does are things like penalties, icing, losing faceoffs and going offside. Also, if your team gets scored on while you're in the box, you'll take a bigger hit. If your teamplay grade drops to an F, you'll be kicked.
How can assists not count toward team play? That is literally team play lol
I don't think losing face-offs should count either, sometimes someone is just better than you, doesn't mean you're trolling.
That's what this whole 'kick for poor team play' was made to combat, trolls. They've taken it a bit too far and maybe lost the original vision.

It's been that way for more than a decade. Assists go toward your offense rating, not teamplay. Would be cool if it went toward both, but if it can only go in one, offense definitely makes more sense since it is a point on the stat sheet. The question is, what things will raise your Teamplay grade once you've been docked? I know that body checks will raise it. Winning fights. Seems like there are a lot more things that dock it, than add to it perhaps? May be something for the devs to look into.
