About: Most Career Points in NHL History
Overview of the data behind this chart
NHL players ranked by total career points (goals plus assists) in regular season play according to official NHL records. Wayne Gretzky's record of 2,857 career points is statistically the most untouchable record in professional sport — so far ahead of every other player that his assists total alone (1,963) exceeds the combined goals and assists of every other player who has ever skated in the NHL, a fact that has led analysts to argue no record in team sport will ever be as dominant again.
