ACTIVE NHL LEADERS IN GOALS 01. 853 - Alex Ovechkin - 19th season - Should have been 20 02. 592 - Sidney Crosby - 19th season 03. 555 - Steven Stamkos - 16th season 04. 498 - Evgeni Malkin - 18th season 05. 476 - Joe Pavelski - 18th season 06. 471 - Patrick Kane - 17th season 07. 456 - John Tavares - 15th season 08. 442 - Jeff Carter - 19th season 09. 429 - Corey Perry - 19th season 10. 419 - Anze Kopitar - 18th seasons 11. 401 - Brad Marchand - 15th season 12. 383 - Jamie Benn - 15th season

Now that the Phoenix Coyotes / Arizona Coyotes are moving to Utah, let's remember two former Coyotes players and 500+ goals club members who are still not in the Hockey Hall of Fame - Keith Tkachuk (538), and Jeremy Roenick (513). Induct in 2024!

When the Arizona team returns to Arizona, will it be a new Arizona Coyotes team, and the Utah team stays in Utah, or will it be the Utah team that returns to Arizona, and Utah gets another team?

Dallas Stars vs. Florida Panthers for the Stanley Cup. Dallas Stars win the Stanley Cup. Joe Pavelski wins his first and only Stanley Cup, scores his 500th goal next season, makes his hall of fame case stronger, and retires in 2027.

The regular season ends for Joe Pavelski. He needs to score 24 goals next season to make it to 500. He is still capable. He has scored over 25 goals in each of the last four seasons with the Dallas Stars.

I don't know what I missed! Those could be wrong, and still being worked on.

The season ends for Pittsburgh. Evgeni Malkin is 3 goals shy of 500 for next season!

497

Jeremy Roenick and Keith Tkachuk will be the next Phoenix Coyotes inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto. Both are 500 goals club members. A lot of people in the hockey media want Shane Doan inducted. He played for both, Phoenix Coyotes, and Arizona Coyotes, as well as the original Winnipeg Jets team. He would be the first player from the renamed Arizona team to be inducted.
