The NHL is over 100 years old, and has the history to go with that age. Countless superstars have carried their teams down the ice and generated points like their lives depended on it. And each team had one such superstar who rose above the rest. Here are the all-time points leaders for every NHL franchise.
Anaheim Ducks: Ryan Getzlaf (1,019)
Getzlaf, a future Hall of Famer, managed to get 1,019 points in 1,157 regular-season games. He never played for any other team in the NHL and was a big contributor in Anaheim’s 2006-07 Stanley Cup-winning team.
Boston Bruins: Ray Bourque (1,506)
Despite being a defenseman, Bourque leads this historic franchise with 1,506 regular-season points in 1,518 games. He was an 18-time All-Star with the Bruins and won five Norris trophies during his time in Boston.
Buffalo Sabres: Gilbert Perreault (1,326)
Perreault spent his entire 17-year career in Buffalo, recording 1,326 points in 1,191 appearances for the team. His best season came in 1975-76, when he totaled 113 points in 80 games played.
Calgary Flames: Jarome Iginla (1,095)
A player who was not drafted by Calgary but spent 16 years there, Iginla posted 1,095 points in 1,219 regular-season games. He’s a four-time All-Star and is now a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Carolina Hurricanes: Ron Francis (1,175)
Francis technically only played six seasons for the Hurricanes, but the franchise was originally the Hartford Whalers, where he played another 10 seasons. He recorded his 1,175 points in 1,186 regular-season games.
Chicago Blackhawks: Stan Mikita (1,467)
Mikita joined Chicago in 1958 and didn’t leave until his retirement 22 years later, racking up 1,467 points in 1,396 career games. An eight-time All-Star, Mikita led the NHL in scoring four times and is a Hall of Famer.
Colorado Avalanche: Joe Sakic (1,641)
Sakic played for the Avs before and after they moved away from being the Quebec Nordiques, and he helped the team win two Stanley Cups. A 20-year vet with the team, Sakic was a three-time All-Star and is in the Hall of Fame
Columbus Blue Jackets: Rick Nash (547)
The lowest total on this list so far, Nash spent nine seasons in Columbus after being the team’s No. 1 overall pick in 2002. He scored arguably the best goal in NHL history for the Jackets in 2008, weaving through the entire defense before sliding in a third-period winner against the Coyotes.
Dallas Stars: Mike Modano (1,359)
Modano played 20 seasons for the Stars franchise in both Minnesota and Dallas, helping the team win the Stanley Cup in 1999. The American picked up his 1,359 points over 1,459 regular-season games.
Detroit Red Wings: Gordie Howe (1,809)
The legendary Howe played 25 years for the Red Wings and gained 1,809 points in 1,687 regular-season games. Howe was a 21-time All-Star, six-time Hart Trophy winner and four-time Stanley Cup winner in Detroit.
Edmonton Oilers: Wayne Gretzky (1,669)
They called him “The Great One” for a reason. Gretzky has more career assists (1,963) than any other player has points, and recorded his 1,669 Oilers points in just 686 games (nine seasons).
Florida Panthers: Aleksander Barkov (765)
Barkov joined the Panthers in 2013 as the No. 2 overall pick and has been with the team ever since. The captain led Florida to its first Stanley Cup title in 2024 and has played 788 regular-season games for the team.
Los Angeles Kings: Marcel Dionne (1,307)
The Red Wings traded a young Dionne to LA in 1975 – a move they would certainly regret. Dionne totalled 1,307 points in 921 regular-season games over 12 seasons with the Kings, earning All-Star honors four times.
Minnesota Wild: Mikko Koivu (709)
The No. 6 selection in the 2001 NHL Draft, Koivu spent 15 seasons in Minnesota and posted his 709 points for the team in 1,028 regular-season games. Koivu’s best season came in 2009-2010, when he had a career-high 71 points.
Montreal Canadiens: Guy Lafleur (1,246)
The 1971 No. 1 pick, Lafleur became a sensation for the storied franchise as soon as he stepped onto the ice. His 1,246 points in 961 regular-season games likely won’t be touched anytime soon.
Nashville Predators: Roman Josi (724)
Josi racked up his 724 points for the Predators in 962 career games. The defenseman won the Norris Trophy in 2020 and has become the franchise’s best-ever at the position.
New Jersey Devils: Patrik Elias (1,025)
A two-time Stanley Cup winner, Elias played all 20 of his professional seasons with the Devils. He tallied 1,025 points in 1,240 regular-season games in that span and was a one-time All-Star.
New York Islanders: Bryan Trottier (1,353)
Trottier was a key player for the Islanders during their run of four straight Stanley Cup victories from 1980 to 1983. He won the Calder Trophy, posted six 100-point seasons, and tallied 1,353 points in 1,123 regular-season games for New York over 15 seasons.
New York Rangers: Rod Gilbert (1,021)
Gilbert played only in New York in his 18-year career, totaling 1,021 points in 1,065 games. He was a two-time All-Star, won the Masterton Trophy in 1975-76, and was selected to the Hall of Fame in 1982.
Ottawa Senators: Daniel Alfredsson (1,108)
Alfredsson might have broken into the NHL later than most, but he made his time count. He played 17 seasons with the Senators, earning 1,108 points in 1,178 regular-season games.
Philadelphia Flyers: Bobby Clarke (1,210)
Clarke achieved a lot during his time in the City of Brotherly Love: he was a four-time All-Star and a three-time Hart Trophy winner. He accumulated his 1,210 points for the Flyers in 1,144 regular-season games.
Pittsburgh Penguins: Mario Lemieux (1,723)
Sydney Crosby could take this record in a season or two, but Super Mario is the emperor Penguin for now. Lemieux recorded a whopping 1,723 points in just 915 regular-season games over an injury-riddled, 17-year career.
San Jose Sharks: Patrick Marleau (1,111)
No NHL player has played more games than the recently retired Sharks forward: Marleau’s 1,779 total games played tops even the great Gordie Howe. Marleau’s 1,111 points in 1,607 regular-season games came over 20 seasons.
Seattle Kraken: Jared McCann (226)
A franchise as old as a toddler predictably has a very small points record. McCann’s total of 226 points, however, can still be extended, as he’s currently under contract with Seattle through 2027.
St. Louis Blues: Bernie Federko (1,073)
Over his 13 seasons with the Blues, Federko tallied 1,073 points in 927 regular-season games. His best season came in 1983-84, when he put up 107 points in 79 games.
Tampa Bay Lightning: Steven Stamkos (1,137)
The ever-present Stamkos left the Lightning in 2024, but not before giving them 1,137 career points in 1,082 regular-season games. The two-time Rocket Richard Trophy winner will surely be in the Hall of Fame after he retires.
Toronto Maple Leafs: Mats Sundin (987)
In the 13 seasons he played for the Maple Leafs, Sundin tallied his 987 points in 981 regular-season games. He was a two-time All-Star and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2012.
Utah Mammoth: Shane Doan (972)
Formerly the Utah Hockey Club, Arizona Coyotes, and Winnipeg Jets, Doan played for all three incarnations of the franchise. In his 21 years with said franchise, Doan totaled 972 points in 1,540 regular-season games.
Vancouver Canucks: Henrik Sedin (1,070)
Sedin played 17 years in the NHL, all with the Canucks, and made them count. He reached his 1,070 career points in 1,330 regular-season games, including a 112-point season in 2009-10.
Vegas Golden Knights: Jonathan Marchessault (417)
Another young franchise with a beatable record, the Knights’ points leader is the forward Marchessault. His 417 points in 514 regular-season games have come in five seasons, and at 34 years old, Marchessault may not extend that figure much.
Washington Capitals: Alex Ovechkin (1,598)
The Great Eight secured the all-time NHL goals mark this season, surpassing Wayne Gretzky. Ovechkin’s a 13-time all-star, a nine-time Rocket Richard winner, and has scored 1,598 points in 1,470 games.
Winnipeg Jets: Blake Wheeler (812)
The new Jets team doesn’t have the same history as the old one, but Wheeler has still established himself as the team’s all-time points leader with 812 in 854 games. He played for the team when they were the Jets and also the Atlanta Thrashers.
