THE RECORDS — NHL LEADERBOARDS

8StarSports · The Records · NHL foundation pack. Compiled October 19, 2026. Companions: nhl-rafters-stanley-cup.md (The Rafters) · nhl-sources-and-notes.md (full source logs, per-table verification pairings, and the UNVERIFIED register).

Snapshot basis (read first): All totals are regular-season, NHL only, frozen through the end of the 2025–26 season (June 2026). The 2026–27 season is in progress (October 2026) and no 2026–27 statistics are included — a live warning for this pack: every major live leaderboard (Hockey-Reference, QuantHockey, ESPN) already carries October 2026 games, and at least four rankings below changed in the first three weeks of 2026–27; each affected board carries a Snapshot Warning saying exactly what moved. WHA totals are never merged into NHL totals. Playoff numbers are excluded throughout. † after a years span = still active in 2026–27; the total shown is through 2025–26 only.

Basis notes — goalies: (factual, printed once)

Shootout era (wins comparability): Ties were abolished from 2005–06; from that season a goalie win can be earned in a shootout, so post-2005 win totals are not strictly comparable with pre-2005 totals compiled when games could end tied. Fetched examples: of the single-season marks below, Luongo's 47 in 2006–07 included 5 shootout wins, Nabokov's 46 in 2007–08 included 6, and Holtby's 48 in 2015–16 included 4 [S13].
1920s schedule length (shutouts comparability): Shutouts in the 1920s were recorded in much shorter schedules. Hainsworth's record 22 shutouts in 1928–29 came in a 44-game season (he allowed 43 goals in 44 games [S11]); Alec Connell's 15 in 1925–26 came in a 36-game season [S5]. No further editorial adjustment is made — the tables print raw totals.

PART A — SKATERS

1. CAREER GOALS — Top 25 (regular season)

Anchor check: Alexander Ovechkin passed Wayne Gretzky's 894 on Apr. 6, 2025, against the New York Islanders [S16][S20]. His total through the end of the 2025–26 season is 929 — 897 at the end of 2024–25 [S16], plus 32 goals in 82 games in 2025–26 [S12a], confirmed independently by the June 2026 StatMuse table (929 in 1,573 GP, with 758 A / 1,687 P) [S5] and by StatMuse's one-line leader answer ("Alex Ovechkin has put up the most career goals, with 929 scored"). Do not use 930: that was his first goal of 2026–27 (Oct. 11, 2026, vs. Seattle), which is where the live Hockey-Reference [S3] and QuantHockey [S1] tables now sit.

Rank	Player	Goals	Team(s)	Years active
1	Alexander Ovechkin	929	Washington Capitals	2005–2026†
2	Wayne Gretzky	894	Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, New York Rangers	1979–1999

12	Teemu Selanne	684	Winnipeg Jets, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche	1992–2014
13	Luc Robitaille	668	Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings	1986–2006
14	Brendan Shanahan	656	New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues, Hartford Whalers, Detroit Red Wings, New York Rangers	1987–2009
15	Sidney Crosby	654	Pittsburgh Penguins	2005–2026†
16	Dave Andreychuk	640	Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning	1982–2006
T-17	Jarome Iginla	625	Calgary Flames, Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche, Los Angeles Kings	1996–2017
T-17	Joe Sakic	625	Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche	1988–2009
19	Steven Stamkos	624	Tampa Bay Lightning, Nashville Predators	2008–2026†
20	Bobby Hull	610	Chicago Black Hawks, Winnipeg Jets, Hartford Whalers	1957–1980
21	Dino Ciccarelli	608	Minnesota North Stars, Washington Capitals, Detroit Red Wings, Tampa Bay Lightning, Florida Panthers	1980–1999
22	Jari Kurri	601	Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Colorado Avalanche	1980–1998
23	Mark Recchi	577	Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins	1988–2011
24	Mike Bossy	573	New York Islanders	1977–1987
25	Patrick Marleau	566	San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins	1997–2021

Cut-off at 25: Marleau's 566 is a clean cut — next below are Joe Nieuwendyk and Mats Sundin, tied at 564 (T-26) [S3][S17], then Mike Modano 561, Guy Lafleur 560, Johnny Bucyk 556. No tie at the boundary itself. Snapshot warning (rank flips in October 2026 — not errors): On the live tables [S1][S3], Crosby (657) has already passed Shanahan for 14th, and Stamkos (628) has already passed Iginla/Sakic (625) for 17th. Both passes happened in 2026–27 and are excluded here; at the snapshot Crosby is 15th and Stamkos is 19th. The June snapshot active list [S5] — Crosby 654, Stamkos 624, Malkin 533, Tavares 525, Kane 508 — confirms no other active player is within reach of this table: the next active scorer, Evgeni Malkin (533 at the snapshot, 538 live), is 28 goals behind Marleau. Trap avoided: StatMuse renders both Hulls as "B. Hull." The 741 at No. 5 is Brett Hull; the 610 at No. 20 is his father Bobby Hull [S3]. Do not merge them.

2. CAREER ASSISTS — Top 25 (regular season)

Anchor check: Wayne Gretzky's 1,963 is confirmed by every source fetched [S2][S6][S15][S20]. His assists alone (1,963) would rank second on the career points table. The gap to No. 2 (Ron Francis, 1,249) is 714 assists.

Rank	Player	Assists	Team(s)	Years active
1	Wayne Gretzky	1,963	Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, New York Rangers	1979–1999
2	Ron Francis	1,249	Hartford Whalers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Carolina Hurricanes, Toronto Maple Leafs	1981–2004
3	Mark Messier	1,193	Edmonton Oilers, New York Rangers, Vancouver Canucks	1979–2004

5	Jaromir Jagr	1,155	Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, Calgary Flames	1990–2018
6	Paul Coffey	1,135	Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins	1980–2001
7	Joe Thornton	1,109	Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers	1997–2022
8	Sidney Crosby	1,107	Pittsburgh Penguins	2005–2026†
9	Adam Oates	1,079	Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Edmonton Oilers	1985–2004
10	Steve Yzerman	1,063	Detroit Red Wings	1983–2006
11	Gordie Howe	1,049	Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers	1946–1980
12	Marcel Dionne	1,040	Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers	1971–1989
13	Mario Lemieux	1,033	Pittsburgh Penguins	1984–2006
14	Joe Sakic	1,016	Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche	1988–2009
15	Doug Gilmour	964	St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens	1983–2003
16	Mark Recchi	956	Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins	1988–2011
17	Al MacInnis	934	Calgary Flames, St. Louis Blues	1981–2004
18	Larry Murphy	929	Los Angeles Kings, Washington Capitals, Minnesota North Stars, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Detroit Red Wings	1980–2001
19	Stan Mikita	926	Chicago Black Hawks	1958–1980
20	Bryan Trottier	901	New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins	1975–1994
21	Phil Housley	894	Buffalo Sabres, Winnipeg Jets, St. Louis Blues, San Jose Sharks, Washington Capitals, New Jersey Devils, Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Chicago Blackhawks	1982–2003
22	Patrick Kane	892	Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings	2007–2026†
23	Dale Hawerchuk	891	Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers	1981–1997
24	Nicklas Lidstrom	878	Detroit Red Wings	1991–2012
25	Evgeni Malkin	874	Pittsburgh Penguins	2006–2026†

Team sequences for ranks 1–14 are as listed in the 1,000-assist-club list [S18]; years spans for all 25 are the Hockey-Reference Years column [S2]. Cut-off at 25: The tightest boundary in the pack. Malkin (874) holds the last spot by one assist over Phil Esposito, 873 at No. 26 [S2][S6]. Next below: Denis Savard 865, and the just-retired Anze Kopitar 864 at No. 28 [S2][S13]. No tie at the boundary. Snapshot warning (the biggest trap in this pack): Crosby passed Thornton for 7th on Oct. 17, 2026 [S15] — a 2026–27 event. Every live table [S1][S2] now shows Crosby 7th with 1,110 and Thornton 8th. At the snapshot (end of 2025–26) Crosby was still 8th, with 1,107, two behind Thornton [S6][S12b]. The same October drift moved Kane (896 live) past Housley (894) into 21st [S19]; at the snapshot Kane was 22nd with 892, behind Housley and one ahead of Hawerchuk (891) [S6]. Malkin added two October assists (876 live) but did not change rank. Note: Connor McDavid is not close to this table yet: 811 assists at the snapshot (see Active-Player Watch) — the live Hockey-Reference list shows him 31st with 828, the difference being his 17 early-2026–27 assists [S2][S14].

3. CAREER POINTS — Top 25 (regular season)

Anchor check: Wayne Gretzky's 2,857 (894 G + 1,963 A) is confirmed by every source fetched [S4][S7][S11][S20]. Exact snapshot totals for all six active climbers named in the brief were taken from the June 2026 tables [S5][S6][S7], not memory, and bridge-checked against the October tables (Verification Log): Crosby 1,761; Ovechkin 1,687; Malkin 1,407; Kane 1,400; McDavid 1,220 (outside the Top 25 — see Watch); Kopitar 1,316, final (outside the Top 25 — see Watch).

Rank	Player	Points	Team(s)	Years active
1	Wayne Gretzky	2,857	Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, New York Rangers	1979–1999
2	Jaromir Jagr	1,921	Pittsburgh Penguins, Washington Capitals, New York Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, Florida Panthers, Calgary Flames	1990–2018

8	Steve Yzerman	1,755	Detroit Red Wings	1983–2006
9	Mario Lemieux	1,723	Pittsburgh Penguins	1984–2006
10	Alexander Ovechkin	1,687	Washington Capitals	2005–2026†
11	Joe Sakic	1,641	Quebec Nordiques, Colorado Avalanche	1988–2009
12	Phil Esposito	1,590	Chicago Black Hawks, Boston Bruins, New York Rangers	1963–1981
13	Ray Bourque	1,579	Boston Bruins, Colorado Avalanche	1979–2001
14	Joe Thornton	1,539	Boston Bruins, San Jose Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Florida Panthers	1997–2022
15	Mark Recchi	1,533	Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, Montreal Canadiens, Carolina Hurricanes, Atlanta Thrashers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins	1988–2011
16	Paul Coffey	1,531	Edmonton Oilers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Los Angeles Kings, Detroit Red Wings, Hartford Whalers, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks, Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins	1980–2001
17	Stan Mikita	1,467	Chicago Black Hawks	1958–1980
18	Teemu Selanne	1,457	Winnipeg Jets, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim/Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks, Colorado Avalanche	1992–2014
19	Bryan Trottier	1,425	New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins	1975–1994
20	Adam Oates	1,420	Detroit Red Wings, St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia Flyers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Edmonton Oilers	1985–2004
21	Doug Gilmour	1,414	St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens	1983–2003
22	Dale Hawerchuk	1,409	Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues, Philadelphia Flyers	1981–1997
23	Evgeni Malkin	1,407	Pittsburgh Penguins	2006–2026†
24	Patrick Kane	1,400	Chicago Blackhawks, New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings	2007–2026†
25	Jari Kurri	1,398	Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, New York Rangers, Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, Colorado Avalanche	1980–1998

Ranks 1–15 are independently confirmed by ESPN's list in both its April and October versions (retired totals identical; Crosby/Ovechkin differ by version, as expected) [S11]. Years spans are the Hockey-Reference Years column [S4]. Cut-off at 25: Kurri's 1,398 is a clean cut — next below are Luc Robitaille, 1,394 (No. 26) and Brett Hull, 1,391 (No. 27) [S4]. No tie at the boundary. The 21–25 band is the active danger zone: only 16 points separate Gilmour (21st) from Kurri (25th), and both Malkin and Kane are still playing. Snapshot warning: On the live Hockey-Reference table [S4], Malkin (1,414 in October) is already tied with Gilmour and Kane is at 1,405 — i.e., the live table shows a T-21 where this snapshot has Malkin alone at 23rd. Crosby (1,767 live) and Ovechkin (1,691 live) have added 6 and 4 points respectively in 2026–27; neither changed rank. All October movement is excluded here. Internal consistency check: Every row above satisfies G + A = P against Tables 1 and 2 where the player appears in both (e.g., Crosby 654 + 1,107 = 1,761; Ovechkin 929 + 758 = 1,687 — Ovechkin's 758 assists sit outside the assists Top 25; Malkin 533 + 874 = 1,407; Kane 508 + 892 = 1,400).

4. SINGLE-SEASON GOALS — Top 10 (regular season)

Anchor check: Gretzky's 92 in 1981–82 (Edmonton, 80 games) [S8][S20]. All rows below are final and cannot change — no 2025–26 season comes within 40 goals of this list (the 2025–26 league leader, Connor McDavid, scored 48 [S14]).

Rank	Player	Goals	Team	Season
1	Wayne Gretzky	92	Edmonton Oilers	1981–82
2	Wayne Gretzky	87	Edmonton Oilers	1983–84
3	Brett Hull	86	St. Louis Blues	1990–91
4	Mario Lemieux	85	Pittsburgh Penguins	1988–89
T-5	Alexander Mogilny	76	Buffalo Sabres	1992–93
T-5	Teemu Selanne	76	Winnipeg Jets	1992–93
T-5	Phil Esposito	76	Boston Bruins	1970–71
8	Wayne Gretzky	73	Edmonton Oilers	1984–85
9	Brett Hull	72	St. Louis Blues	1989–90
T-10	Jari Kurri	71	Edmonton Oilers	1984–85
T-10	Wayne Gretzky	71	Edmonton Oilers	1982–83

Notes: Eleven rows cover the top ten ranks because of the three-way tie at No. 5 and the tie at No. 10. Next in line: Brett Hull's 70 in 1991–92 (St. Louis). Gretzky holds four of the eleven rows; his 87 in 1983–84 came in only 74 games. Mogilny and Selanne both hit 76 as (in Selanne's case) a rookie-year/Winnipeg season in the same winter, 1992–93.

5. SINGLE-SEASON ASSISTS — Top 10 (regular season)

Anchor check: Gretzky's 163 in 1985–86 (Edmonton, 80 games) [S9][S20] — a season in which his assists alone would have won the scoring title.

Rank	Player	Assists	Team	Season
1	Wayne Gretzky	163	Edmonton Oilers	1985–86
2	Wayne Gretzky	135	Edmonton Oilers	1984–85
3	Wayne Gretzky	125	Edmonton Oilers	1982–83
4	Wayne Gretzky	122	Los Angeles Kings	1990–91
5	Wayne Gretzky	121	Edmonton Oilers	1986–87
6	Wayne Gretzky	120	Edmonton Oilers	1981–82
7	Wayne Gretzky	118	Edmonton Oilers	1983–84
T-8	Wayne Gretzky	114	Los Angeles Kings	1988–89
T-8	Mario Lemieux	114	Pittsburgh Penguins	1988–89
T-10	Wayne Gretzky	109	Edmonton Oilers	1987–88
T-10	Wayne Gretzky	109	Edmonton Oilers	1980–81

Notes: Gretzky holds ten of the eleven rows, including the entire top seven. The only non-Gretzky row in the top 10 is Lemieux's 114 in 1988–89 — the same season as Gretzky's own 114 with Los Angeles. Next in line: Gretzky's 102 in 1989–90 and Bobby Orr's 102 in 1970–71 (the only defenseman anywhere near this list), tied at No. 12 [S9]. The modern era's best — Nikita Kucherov's and Connor McDavid's 100-assist seasons in 2023–24 — sit tied at No. 14, 63 assists short of the record. Gretzky's 109 in 1987–88 came in just 64 games.

6. SINGLE-SEASON POINTS — Top 10 (regular season)

Anchor check: Gretzky's 215 in 1985–86 (52 G + 163 A, Edmonton) [S10][S20].

Rank	Player	Points	Team	Season
1	Wayne Gretzky	215	Edmonton Oilers	1985–86
2	Wayne Gretzky	212	Edmonton Oilers	1981–82
3	Wayne Gretzky	208	Edmonton Oilers	1984–85
4	Wayne Gretzky	205	Edmonton Oilers	1983–84
5	Mario Lemieux	199	Pittsburgh Penguins	1988–89
6	Wayne Gretzky	196	Edmonton Oilers	1982–83
7	Wayne Gretzky	183	Edmonton Oilers	1986–87
T-8	Wayne Gretzky	168	Los Angeles Kings	1988–89
T-8	Mario Lemieux	168	Pittsburgh Penguins	1987–88
10	Wayne Gretzky	164	Edmonton Oilers	1980–81

Notes: Gretzky is the only member of the 200-point club, with four such seasons; Lemieux's 199 in 1988–89 is the closest anyone else has come [S10]. Next in line: Gretzky's 163 in 1990–91 (Los Angeles). No season since 1995–96 (Lemieux, 161, 12th all-time) has cracked this top 10, and the best modern season — McDavid's 153 in 2022–23 — sits 15th [S10].

ACTIVE-PLAYER WATCH — through-2025–26 totals, individually verified

These are the figures most likely to go stale in sloppy lists; each was bridged from the June 2026 snapshot tables [S5][S6][S7] and re-checked against the live October tables [S1][S2][S3][S4] minus the player's verified early-2026–27 line.

Player	Goals	Assists	Points	GP	How verified
Alexander Ovechkin	929	758	1,687	1,573	897 thru 2024–25 [S16] + 32 G / 64 P in 2025–26 [S12a] = 929 / 1,687; June StatMuse table prints 929 / 758 / 1,687 in 1,573 GP [S5]; entering-2025–26 line was 897 / 726 / 1,623 (Sept. 2025 reporting), and 726 + 32 A = 758
Sidney Crosby	654	1,107	1,761	1,420	2025–26 line 29 / 45 / 74 in 68 GP [S12b, two further outlets]; career printed in full by Daily Faceoff (654 / 1,107 / 1,761 in 1,420 GP) [S12b] and by June StatMuse tables [S5][S6][S7]
Evgeni Malkin	533	874	1,407	1,269	June StatMuse active/career tables [S5][S6][S7]; October bridge: 1,278 GP / 538 / 876 / 1,414 live [S1][S4] = +9 GP / +5 / +2 / +7 in 2026–27
Patrick Kane	508	892	1,400	1,369	June StatMuse tables [S5][S6][S7]; October bridge: 896 A / 1,405 P live [S2][S4], with the Housley pass (895th assist) reported as an October 2026 event [S19]
Steven Stamkos	624	632	1,256	1,246	June StatMuse active table [S5]; October bridge: 628 / 638 / 1,266 in 1,254 GP live [S1]
Connor McDavid	409	811	1,220	794	StatMuse career table with full per-season rows incl. 2025–26 (48 / 90 / 138) [S14]; 2025–26 line independently printed by Hockey-Reference scoring log (48 / 90 / 138) [S14]; October bridge: 1,243 P live [S4] = 1,220 + 23 early-2026–27 points. Not yet in any career Top 25 — closest is points, where 1,220 sits ~19 spots below the cut
Anze Kopitar (retired Apr. 2026)	452	864	1,316	1,521	NHL.com retirement coverage — final totals, all with Los Angeles [S13]. Finishes 28th in assists — 864, ten short of the Top 25 cut (Malkin, 874) — and 38th in points [S2][S4]. His 2025–26 line was 12 / 26 / 38 in 67 GP
John Tavares	525	660	1,185	1,266	June StatMuse active table [S5]. Second among active goal scorers outside the Top 25, 41 behind Marleau's 566

25T	Evgeni Nabokov	353	San Jose Sharks, New York Islanders, Tampa Bay Lightning	1999–2015

Boundary: Rank 25 is a tie at 353 — Vachon and Nabokov share the last spot. Next outside is Connor Hellebuyck at 345 (Winnipeg Jets only, 2015–2026), still short of the board. Bobrovsky is the only active goalie in the top 25 who changed teams after the snapshot (Toronto, 2026–27 — not counted here). ⚠ Compiler ruling — Vachon 355 vs 353: the original research pass printed 355 from four secondary lists; at compile, fresh direct fetches of BOTH canonical databases (Hockey-Reference and QuantHockey career-wins pages) read 353, and the StatMuse table cited in the original pairing omits Vachon from its top 25 entirely — consistent with 353 and a T-25. The board therefore prints 353 for both men. The 355 reading and its sources are preserved in full in the Disputes Register (nhl-sources-and-notes.md, D-G2).

Anchors verified: Brodeur 691 ✓, Fleury 575 ✓ (Fleury finished his career with Minnesota in 2024–25 [S8] — 575 is his final total), Roy 551 ✓, Luongo 489 ✓, Belfour 484 ✓.

QuantHockey's reproduced all-time wins table header/order (Brodeur, Roy, Fleury, Luongo…) was also returned in search [S1] but in an old crawl showing Fleury at 881 GP and is used for order only, not totals.

8. GOALIE SHUTOUTS — CAREER

Career — Top 25 (regular season, through end of 2025–26)

24T	Ed Giacomin	54	New York Rangers, Detroit Red Wings	1965–1978
24T	Bernie Parent	54	Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers, Toronto Maple Leafs	1965–1979

Just outside: Jaroslav Halak and Sergei Bobrovsky, 53 each (T-26th) [G8][G9] — the 54-shutout group at ranks 24T is complete at two, so the Top 25 boundary is clean. Parent's 54 are NHL only; his 1972–73 WHA season (Philadelphia Blazers) is excluded, as with Plante in Disputes Register item D-G 4.

Anchors verified: Brodeur 125 ✓, Sawchuk 103 ✓, Hainsworth 94 ✓ (NHL only — see Disputes Register item D-G 6 on his 104 professional total).

Source pairing (§8): Hockey-Reference career shutouts leaders, NHL table, fetched directly this pass (Brodeur 125, Sawchuk 103, Hainsworth 94, Hall 84, Plante 82, Connell/Hasek/Thompson 81, Luongo 77, Belfour/Esposito/Fleury 76, Chabot/Lumley 71, Worters 67, Roy 66, Quick 65, Lundqvist 64, Broda 61, Rinne 60, Nabokov 59, Roach 58, Benedict 57, Giacomin 54, Parent 54, Halak/Bobrovsky 53 next) [G9] + QuantHockey all-time shutouts leaders, fetched directly this pass (identical totals for all 25 rows and the 53 pair below them) [G8] + StatMuse career shutouts table (identical 25 rows, incl. Connell at 418 GP) [G10]. Team lists for the completed rows 19–25 are from the same database pages plus profile sources (Nabokov [G16]; Parent [G19]; Roach and Benedict team histories as logged in the SOURCE LOG). The pre-truncation pairing paragraph for rows 1–18 was lost with the original truncation; the [G8]/[G9]/[G10] re-verification above covers those rows in full.

9. GOALIE WINS — SINGLE SEASON

Top 10 ranks, printed through the complete 44-win group (regular season)

Scope note: this table prints every season of 44+ wins — 16 seasons in total — so the 44-win tie group at rank 9T is complete, not cut at the boundary.

Rank	Goalie	Wins	Team	Season
1T	Martin Brodeur	48	New Jersey Devils	2006–07
1T	Braden Holtby	48	Washington Capitals	2015–16
3T	Bernie Parent	47	Philadelphia Flyers	1973–74
3T	Roberto Luongo	47	Vancouver Canucks	2006–07

9T	Carey Price	44	Montreal Canadiens	2014–15
9T	Andrei Vasilevskiy	44	Tampa Bay Lightning	2017–18
9T	Connor Hellebuyck	44	Winnipeg Jets	2017–18

Just outside: the 43-win group (six seasons, T-17th) — Ed Belfour (Chicago, 1990–91), Tom Barrasso (Pittsburgh, 1992–93), Martin Brodeur (New Jersey, 1997–98, 1999–00 and 2005–06) and Pekka Rinne (Nashville, 2011–12) [G1][G2]. Brodeur holds three of the 16 seasons in the table (48, 45, 44) and three more in this 43 group — six of the 22 seasons of 43+ wins all-time.

Currency note (2025–26): the 2025–26 wins leader was Andrei Vasilevskiy, 39 (39-15-4 in 58 games for Tampa Bay; NHL.com: he "led the League in wins this season for the sixth time in his career") [G11] — five short of the 44 group, so no 2025–26 season enters this table. No goalie reached 40 in 2025–26 [G1][G11].

Anchors verified: 48 shared record ✓ — Guinness World Records lists Brodeur and Holtby jointly at 48 [G3]; Hockey-Reference and StatMuse season tables agree on all 16 rows, team and season included [G1][G2]. Hellebuyck's 47 in 2024–25 is the newest entry in the table and the only 47+ season since Holtby's 48.

Source pairing (§3.1): Hockey-Reference single-season wins leaders, NHL table, fetched directly this pass [G1] + StatMuse single-season wins tables (three query phrasings returned the identical 16 seasons at 44+, in the same order, with team and GP detail) [G2] + Guinness for the 48 record [G3].

10. GOALIE SHUTOUTS — SINGLE SEASON

Top 10 ranks, printed through the complete 13-shutout group (regular season)

Scope note: this table prints every season of 13+ shutouts — 13 seasons in total — so the 13-shutout tie group at rank 7T is complete, not cut at the boundary.

Rank	Goalie	Shutouts	Team	Season
1	George Hainsworth	22	Montreal Canadiens	1928–29
2T	Alec Connell	15	Ottawa Senators	1925–26
2T	Alec Connell	15	Ottawa Senators	1927–28
2T	Hal Winkler	15	Boston Bruins	1927–28
2T	Tony Esposito	15	Chicago Blackhawks	1969–70
6	George Hainsworth	14	Montreal Canadiens	1926–27
7T	Clint Benedict	13	Montreal Maroons	1926–27
7T	Alec Connell	13	Ottawa Senators	1926–27
7T	George Hainsworth	13	Montreal Canadiens	1927–28
7T	John Ross Roach	13	New York Rangers	1928–29
7T	Roy Worters	13	New York Americans	1928–29
7T	Harry Lumley	13	Toronto Maple Leafs	1953–54
7T	Dominik Hasek	13	Buffalo Sabres	1997–98

Just outside: the 12-shutout group (nine seasons, T-14th) — Tiny Thompson (Boston, 1928–29), Charlie Gardiner (Chicago, 1930–31), Terry Sawchuk (Detroit, 1951–52, 1953–54 and 1954–55), Glenn Hall (Detroit, 1955–56), Bernie Parent (Philadelphia, 1973–74 and 1974–75) and Martin Brodeur (New Jersey, 2006–07) [G4][G5]. Hasek's 13 in 1997–98 is the only season in this table after 1953–54 — and Esposito's 15 in 1969–70 is the only 15 outside the 1920s.

Currency note (2025–26): the 2025–26 shutouts leader was Ilya Sorokin, 7 (New York Islanders; NHL.com: he "led the NHL with seven shutouts") [G11][G17] — half of Hainsworth's second-best season, so no modern season approaches this table. The last double-figure season in the fetched leaders is 2014–15 (Marc-Andre Fleury, 10) [G4].

Anchors verified: Hainsworth 22 ✓ — Hockey Hall of Fame: in 1928–29 he "allow[ed] only 43 goals in 44 games and register[ed] 22 shutouts" [G12]; Hockey-Reference and StatMuse season tables agree on all 13 rows, team and season included [G4][G5].

Source pairing (§4.1): Hockey-Reference single-season shutouts leaders, NHL table, fetched directly this pass [G4] + StatMuse single-season shutouts tables (three query phrasings returned the identical 13 seasons at 13+) [G5] + HHOF for the 22 record [G12].

DISPUTES — both numbers printed, never silently resolved

Full register with sourcing: nhl-sources-and-notes.md. The two sections below are the research passes' dispute lists, printed as filed (register IDs added: skaters D-S1–D-S6, goalies D-G1–D-G9).

Skaters (D-S)

Sidney Crosby's 2025–26 goal/assist split: 29 G / 45 A (used) vs. 26 G / 48 A. The 74-point total is unanimous. Daily Faceoff (twice), NHL Trade Rumors' projection piece, Yardbarker (twice) and a RotoWire season summary all give 29 goals, 45 assists; a Sportskeeda item gives 26 goals and 48 assists. The career totals settle it: 625 + 29 = 654 goals and 1,062 + 45 = 1,107 assists match the independently printed career line [S12b], whereas 26/48 would produce 651 / 1,110 — and 1,110 is Crosby's October 2026 assists total, i.e., the Sportskeeda split appears to have folded three early-2026–27 assists into the 2025–26 line. We print 29 / 45; the 26 / 48 variant is recorded here, not hidden.
Connor McDavid's 2025–26 season: 48 G / 90 A / 138 P (used) vs. 88 A / 136 P (and a "134 points" mention) in one Yardbarker Art Ross piece. StatMuse's per-season table, Hockey-Reference's 2025–26 scoring log, RMNB's Ted Lindsay finalist release and OilersNation all give 48 / 90 / 138, and the piece's own career line (409 G / 807 A / 1,216 P) is exactly 4 assists short of the StatMuse career table (409 / 811 / 1,220) [S14] — the same 4-assist gap, propagated. The Hockey-Reference live points table (1,243) minus McDavid's verified 23 early-2026–27 points also lands on 1,220, not 1,216. We print 138 / 811 / 1,220; the Yardbarker variant is recorded here.
Crosby's career points in theScore's Oct. 17, 2026 item: 1,766 (printed there) vs. 1,767. The same weekend, ESPN [S11] and QuantHockey [S1] both showed Crosby at 657 G + 1,110 A = 1,767. The theScore figure appears to be a one-point transcription slip in a story whose actual news (the 1,110th assist, passing Thornton) every other outlet confirms. Neither figure is a snapshot figure — the snapshot total is 1,761 — but the compiler should know the October bridge has a ±1 wobble in one outlet.
Ovechkin's career assists in October crawls: 758 (snapshot, used) vs. 759 vs. 761. All three numbers are "correct" at different moments: 758 through the end of 2025–26 [S5]; 759 in an intermediate October crawl (1,578 GP / 1,689 P); 761 in the current live tables (1,581 GP / 1,691 P) [S1][S4]. Anyone quoting 759 or 761 for the snapshot is quoting a mid-October 2026 running total.
Marcel Dionne's goals rank in The Hockey Writers' 500-goal-club piece: "731 goals rank fourth all-time" (rejected). The total (731) agrees everywhere, but the rank claim is stale/wrong in the current era: Ovechkin (929), Jagr (766) and Brett Hull (741) all stand between Dionne and the Gretzky/Howe pair. Dionne is 6th [S3][S5]. We print 6th.
Live-table ranks vs. snapshot ranks (method dispute, affects four names). QuantHockey and Hockey-Reference as of October 2026 show Crosby 14th in goals, Stamkos 17th in goals, Crosby 7th in assists, Kane 21st in assists, and Malkin tied-21st in points. This pack shows Crosby 15th / Stamkos 19th / Crosby 8th / Kane 22nd / Malkin 23rd. Neither is wrong: the live tables include 2026–27, the snapshot does not. This is the single most likely source of a "correction" from a reader checking a live site, and the pack should be ready for it.

Goalies (D-G)

Printed, never silently resolved. The snapshot printed in the tables is regular season through the end of 2025-26; live totals below include 2026-27 games played to the fetch date (October 19, 2026).

Sergei Bobrovsky, career wins — 456 (printed, snapshot) vs 457 (live). Through the end of 2025-26 (his last Florida season) Bobrovsky stands at 456 in 806 GP [S9, per the §7 pairing]. Both live database pages fetched this pass read 457 in 812 GP [G6][G7] — the extra win is his first for Toronto in 2026-27, outside the snapshot. Fall-2026 lists printing 457 are live totals, not snapshot errors. §7 stands as printed.
Rogie Vachon, career wins — 355 vs 353 — ⚠ COMPILER RULING APPLIED: the board (§7) prints 353, tied with Nabokov at 25T. The original research pass printed Vachon at 355 (25th alone) from four secondary lists, with Evgeni Nabokov (353) just outside at 26th. This pass's fresh fetches of both canonical databases read 353: Hockey-Reference lists Nabokov and Vachon tied at 353 (T-25) [G7], and QuantHockey lists Nabokov 353 and Vachon 353 on consecutive rows [G6]. Note also that the StatMuse table used in §7's own pairing paragraph omits Vachon from the top 25 entirely — on the 353 reading he does not drop out, he ties Nabokov for 25th. Ruling (compile, Oct 19, 2026): 353 stands — both canonical databases outrank the four secondary lists — and §7's board and boundary note were corrected accordingly at compile; the 355 reading and its sources remain printed here in full.
Andrei Vasilevskiy, career wins — 370 (printed, snapshot) vs 373, and 374 live. §7 prints 370 through the end of 2025-26 [S10, per the §7 pairing]. Live lists in early October 2026 read 373 once his first three 2026-27 wins were added; by this pass's October 19 fetches, both databases already read 374 in 604 GP [G6][G7]. Any figure above 370 includes 2026-27 and is outside the snapshot; the live total will keep moving all season.
Jacques Plante's teams — Edmonton is WHA, excluded. ESPN's goalie list (§1 pairing, [S8] family) includes Edmonton among Plante's teams. Plante's Edmonton season (1974-75) was with the WHA Oilers — 15 wins and 1 shutout there per Britannica [G15]; he never played an NHL game for Edmonton (the NHL Oilers did not exist until 1979). §§7 and 8 correctly print only his five NHL teams. Caution for compilers: Hockey-Reference's leader pages are headed "NHL & WHA" — only the NHL table was used here [G7][G9].
Alec Connell — spelling and games played. The databases split on his first name: Hockey-Reference prints "Alec Connell" [G9] (as does §8), QuantHockey prints "Alex Connell" [G8]; "Alex" is also the form in HHOF-adjacent prose. Games played split too: 418 (QuantHockey [G8]; StatMuse [G10]) vs 417 (The Hockey Writers' shutout-frequency table [G18]). His shutout total is not in dispute — 81 everywhere fetched. GP is not printed in the tables; the spelling follows Hockey-Reference.
George Hainsworth, career shutouts — 94 (NHL, printed) vs 104 (professional). §8's 94 is his NHL total [G8][G9][G10]. His professional total including the western leagues is 104: the HHOF states his "professional total would include 10 shutouts in the WHL, giving him 104" [G12], and The Hockey News gives the same split (94 NHL + 10 WCHL with Saskatoon) [G14]. Tables here are NHL only; 104 is the correct figure only for an all-professional list.
Turk Broda, career shutouts — 61 (printed) vs 62. All three databases fetched this pass read 61: Hockey-Reference [G9], QuantHockey [G8], StatMuse [G10] — and §8 prints 61 on that consensus. NHL.com's 100 Greatest profile, however, credits Broda with 62 shutouts (and 302 wins, where Hockey-Reference and QuantHockey read 304) [G13]; PSA's AutographFacts and The Hockey Writers' Maple Leafs history also print 62. The split is narrative sources (62) vs the statistical databases (61) — printed at 61, flagged for the compiler.
Clint Benedict, career shutouts — 57 (printed) vs 58. Hockey-Reference [G9], QuantHockey [G8], StatMuse [G10] and The Hockey News (190-143-28, 57 SO) [G14] all read 57. A 58 reading circulates in wiki-mirror career tables (which also give him 191 wins against the databases' 189–190) and in The Hockey Writers' frequency table [G18]. A season-by-season sum of the Hockey-Reference-lineage figures (1+2+5+2+2+4+3+2+6+13+6+11+0) also totals 57. Printed at 57.
Lorne Chabot, career shutouts — 71 (printed) vs 72 (minor). Hockey-Reference, QuantHockey and StatMuse all read 71 in 412 GP [G8][G9][G10]. The Hockey Writers' frequency table alone reads 72 in 411 GP [G18]. Printed at 71; the 72 appears to be a single-source outlier, logged here rather than silently ignored.
