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.

As well as hockeydb.com  shows same number:

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.

Gretzky scored #894 in his 1,477th game played.

 

1. Figuring it out was very easy: I went to his profile at Hockey Reference: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/g/gretzwa01.html

2. Saw that he came into his last season with 1,415 GP.

3. Brought up his gamelog from his final season: https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/g/gretzwa01/gamelog/1999

4. Goal #894 came in his 62nd game of the year.

5. 1415 + 62 = 1477

 

 

Thank you. So Alex Ovechkin would have to score goal number 894 in game number 1476 or earlier, to say he did it quicker than Wayne Gretzky.

Does anyone know the game number that Wayne Gretzky scored his 894th goal in? How can I find out?

Wayne Gretzky scored 894 goals in 1487 games in 20 NHL seasons. This is Alex Ovechkin's 19th season, but it should have been 20 because of a cancelled season, and he also played in a shortened lockout season, and two shortened covid seasons. Alex Ovechkin is not going to get his 895th goal in season 20, but that's okay. Ovechkin has played 1378 games so far. He has to play 109 more games to tie Wayne Gretzky, and score 66 more goals to tie Wayne Gretzky.

Alex Ovechkin's 19th regular season has ended. Alex Ovechkin currently stands at 1426 games played, and 853 goals. Next season, Alex Ovechkin has to play 61 more games to tie Wayne Gretzky, and score 41 more goals to tie Wayne Gretzky. In order for Alex Ovechkin to say he did it quicker than Wayne Gretzky did, he would have to score his 894th goal in his 1486th game. Wayne Gretzky played 1487 games. 

GAMES - Wayne Gretzky - 1487 minus Alex Ovechkin's 1426, equals 61

GOALS - Wayne Gretzky - 894 minus Alex Ovechkin's 853, equals 41

I will have to go back and check which game Wayne Gretzky scored his 894th goal in, to be more specific on the quickness. 

Alex Ovechkin scored 31 goals this season. He scored 42 goals last season, and 50 goals the season before that one.

Do you think Alex Ovechkin can still score 41 goals in one season, or is he too old?

853

The season ends for Patrick Kane. He needs to score 29 goals next season to make it to 500. The last time Patrick Kane scored 29 goals or more was during the 2019-2020 season, in which he scored 33 goals for the Chicago Blackhawks.

What Will Happen To All The Threads in the Arizona Coyotes Section when they move to Utah? Will they be moved to the Utah page, or will all the posts be put in the Team History (MVRP) section? https://www.hockeyforums.net/forum/148-team-history-mvrp/

Remind me why Washington makes the playoffs and Detroit doesn't, even though Detroit has more wins, but they both finished with 91 points, and Detroit scored more goals, and has more wins at home.

Names thrown out by Salt Lake Tribune columnist Gordon Monson:

Stallions

Pioneers

Miners

Rattlers

Scorpions

Blizzard

Stingers

Diamonds

Bighorn

Condors

They all sound like minor league team names.

Now it's 4 goals needed in 1 game, for 500.

I can’t believe we might have to wait another season to see Evgeni Malkin become the 48th member of the 500 goals club. This really sucks!
