How to play
- Name the 100 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.
About this list
Career totals as of October 21, 2026. Career totals from the NHL's own stats, back to 1917–18.
On this list
It takes 417 to make this list: that's the total in last place, and the leader has more than twice that.
The 100 players began their careers between 1942 and 2016. More of them started in the 1980s than in any other decade (34), and their careers ran 19.0 seasons on average, first season to last.
20 of them have played in the 2020s, and 1 had retired before 1970, so the list moves slowly.
The closest two places on the list are #14 and #15, 1 apart; the widest gap is 93, between #2 and #3. 13 places are shared by tied totals.
The top five average 826, and the bottom five 420.
13 of them have played a season that started in 2025 or later. The highest placed is at #1, top of the list.
Their careers ran from 10 to 34 seasons, first to last. Spread over those seasons, the fastest pace on the list is 57.3 a season (#24) and the slowest 17.2 (#86).
By the decade they started: 1940s (2), 1950s (7), 1960s (3), 1970s (17), 1980s (34), 1990s (17), 2000s (16), 2010s (4).
