How to play
- Name the 25 players with the most career NHL goals, regular season only.
- Type them in any order. The clock starts when you tap the box or type. A name counts the moment it’s complete, no need to press Enter. A last name of four letters or more is enough, and one that players on the list share credits all of them.
- Stuck? Hint tells you something about the next one you’re missing, and costs 15 seconds, off the clock and onto your time. Finish ends the round early.
- Your best result goes on the quiz’s all-time leaderboard: most named, then fastest. Play as often as you like.

4 of them have played in the 2020s, so the list moves slowly.

The top five average 826, and the bottom five 585.
3 of them have played a season that started in 2025 or later. The highest placed is at #1, top of the list.
