Now, after Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin passed Gordie Howe to move into second place on the NHL&#8217;s career goals list, it feels almost inevitable that Ovechkin will surpass Gretzky&#8217;s mark, and perhaps by quite a bit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI think a thousand goals is possible for him, especially after what we&#8217;ve seen tonight,\u201d former NHL defenseman and ESPN analyst PK Subban said this month after Ovechkin recorded a hat trick to become just the third player in NHL history to reach 800 goals.  \u201c \u2026 There&#8217;s no doubt in my mind that he can hit 900, but I think a thousand is there.

With 1,921 points in 246 more games, Jaromir Jagr is a distant second on the career list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cFor me, it&#8217;s like number one,\u201d Jagr said after passing Mark Messier for second place in December 2016. \u201cI don&#8217;t really count Wayne Gretzky.  He was from another planet.  I don&#8217;t think he was from this planet.

Montreal Canadiens and Colorado Avalanche great Patrick Roy eclipsed Sawchuk&#8217;s mark in 2000, and Brodeur blew past both of them, finishing his 23-year career in 2015 with 691 wins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">It&#8217;s Brodeur&#8217;s shutout record, though, that seems the most secure.  While seven goalies now have more wins than Sawchuk, Brodeur is the only one who surpassed his 103 shutouts.  The next-closest active goalie is 38-year-old Marc-Andre Fleury with 72.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>Cy Young&#8217;s 749 complete games<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Unless Rob Manfred or a future commissioner shortens games to six innings or robot umpires are eventually calling balls and strikes for robot pitchers, no one will challenge this century-old mark.  Consider: MLB pitchers combined for 36 complete games in 2022. Young pitched at least 36 complete games in 11 of his 22 seasons, and he finished with 103 more complete games than Pud Galvin, who is second on the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">The leader in complete games among active pitchers is St.  Louis Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright with 28. Young&#8217;s records for starts (815), wins (511) and losses (315) are probably untouchable, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>Cal Ripken Jr.&#8217;s 2,632 consecutive games<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Lou Gehrig&#8217;s unbreakable streak of 2,130 consecutive games played stood for 56 years before Ripken broke it Sept.  6, 1995.

The longest streak since Ripken&#8217;s ended belongs to Miguel Tejada, who played in 1,152 straight games from 2000 to 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>John Stockton&#8217;s 15,806 assists<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Stockton led the league in assists in nine consecutive seasons from 1987-88 to 1995-96.  The Utah Jazz legend has 3,715 more assists than Jason Kidd, who retired in 2013 second on the all-time list.  Phoenix Suns 37-year-old point guard Chris Paul, who is No.  3, could average 10 assists per game over a full season for the next five years and still not pass Stockton.  Paul is averaging 9.1 assists this season but has been limited to 18 games by a heel injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">\u201cI don&#8217;t like saying never, but ain&#8217;t nobody catching that,\u201d Paul said in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\"><b>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&#8217;s 38,387 points<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">Wilt Chamberlain still owns several unbreakable records, including career rebounds (23,924) and points in a game (100), but Abdul-Jabbar passed him to become the NBA&#8217;s all-time leading scorer April 5, 1984, and played five more seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-body\" data-qa=\"article-body\">\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\" class=\"wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css font-copy\">A knee injury in Karl Malone&#8217;s age-40 season derailed his quest to break Abdul-Jabbar&#8217;s record, leading him to retire 1,459 points shy of the mark in 2005.
