Career Points
The single season point leaderboard was dominated by Wayne Gretzky. The Great One played a season in the WHA with the Winnipeg Jets and then helped the Jets/Coyotes franchise win 7 Cups in 9 years. He was joined by Mark Messier and Ray Bourque as the Jets dominated the NHL.
88-89 had to be one of the best teams of all time as the Jets went 68-9-3 led by Gretzky (193 points), Messier (131), Bourque (101) and goalie Rick Wamsley (57-7-2, 2.67).
Here are the career and single season point leaders as well as Gretzky's year by year totals. Gretzky and Lemieux (who played his career with Quebec-Colorado) had a number of meetings in the Stanley Cup Finals. It took Gretz a few years to take off in Winnipeg but he was completely dominant in the 80's just as in real life.
