At the time of his retirement in 1999, Wayne Gretzky owned or shared 61 NHL records, including the mark for the most career goals. “The Great One” finished his unparalleled 20-year career with an NHL-record 894 goals in 1,487 games. It is a mark that has stood since Gretzky walked away. Alex Ovechkin is looking to change that.
Ovechkin enters the 2024-25 season 42 goals shy of breaking Gretzky’s record. Ovechkin has scored at least 42 goals in a season 13 times in his NHL career, including in the 2022-23 campaign.

Wayne Gretzky: 894
Alex Ovechkin: 853

Jaromir Jagr: 766
Brett Hull: 741
