i didn't see this game though, so you could very well be right in this instance.
The simple fact that there are 2 assists on virtually every goal in the NHL tells you that it is harder to get goals than assists. (almost twice as hard!! )
you can't judge difficulty by that. the entire play creates the goal. nobody gets 2 assists on the same goal. yes, the numbers are higher. doesn't mean it's any easier.
