HALL OF FAME SCORER REACHES MILESTONE
Artemi Panarin
Setting up goals is one of the niches that Panarin does best and he notched 50 assists for the fourth time in seven seasons. Hitting the milestone was part of one of his best single-game efforts of the year as he set up four goals during his five-point night in the visiting New York Rangers' 7-4 victory against the Dallas Stars on March 12, 2022.
Tyler Seguin
The Stars handed Nashville a 3-1 loss on Feb. 2, 2019, when Seguin scored his 250th career goal in the first period to tie the score.
Emile Francis, the Rangers' GM-Coach, calls Bob "the best two-way player" in the NHL. "Nevvy" scores consistently and seldom makes a defensive mistake. He's one of the few NHL players to wear contact lenses.
A fantastic sense of balance makes Nevin one of the toughest NHL players to knock down!

John Davidson
John was one of the brightest lights last season, even though the Blues failed to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He is one of the few goaltenders to ever jump right into the NHL from junior hockey. John was the first choice of the Blues in the 1973 Amateur Draft, and most hockey people feel he will become an established NHL performer.

Wayne Gretzky
Wayne is a bachelor. His last amateur club was the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHA.
Most Points, Season 212 - Wayne Gretzky (1981-82, 92 goals. 120 assists)
PLAYER SPOTLIGHT
931 save
The Edmonton netminder notched the highest win total of his NHL tenure in 2005-06. Markkanen's best stretch of the season came between late October and early November, when he registered victories in five consecutive starts while posting a .931 save percentage and a 2.01 goals-against average. The first victory of his NHL career was a 2-0 shutout against Anaheim on 11/28/01.
VINTAGE SPOTLIGHT
Jim Neilson
Born Big River, Sask., Nov. 28, 1941. 6'2", 205. Shoots left. He is part Indian and all hockey. Hard shooter, he developed fast in rookie Ranger campaign. Was EPHL rookie of year in 1961-62. at Kitchener-Waterloo.
Craig Billington
Who had the toughest job in hockey last season? One could argue that it was Craig who spent much of the year dodging pucks from all angles. He played in a career high 63 games and earned all but three of the Senators' 14 victories.
Wayne Gretzky
Wayne is a bachelor. His last amateur club was the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHA.
Most Points, Season 212 - Wayne Gretzky (1981-82, 92 goals. 120 assists)
Arnie Brown
Bright prospect in Toronto system, Arnie was acquired by Rangers last February in five-for-two deal. Aggressive as defenseman, Arnie has had two pro years in AHL, going from Rochester to Baltimore after Rangers dealt with Leafs.
Arnie had brief cup of coffee with Maple Leafs.
RETRO CORNER
Claude Provost
Claude, an eleven year veteran with Canadiens, reached the 200 goal plateau last season. A fast-skating, tireless player, Claude is particularly adept at checking opposing forwards and coming up with the puck in corner skirmishes.
Every so often a youngster comes along with a blend of skills that suggest he can't miss making it in the NHL and Aldcom is one of them. Developed in the Maple Leafs system, Gary is a versatile forward who will give coach Howie Meeker playmaking and scoring skills as well as considerable vitality in the dressing room. If his amateur hockey record is any barometer, Aldcom should reach the 20-goal mark before long.
Victor Hedman
In Game 1 of Tampa Bay's first round series with Columbus, Hedman led the Lightning with 57:38 of ice time on Aug. 11, 2020. Tampa Bay won 4-3 in the fourth-longest playoff contest in NHL history.
Charlie Burns
One of the few American-born hockey players, Charlie has rebounded from two serious injuries to continue his career. The helmeted center specializes in checking, a much needed but seldom noticed skill.
To continue his career, Charlie turned down a coaching offer.
MODERN ERA
Paul Ysebaert
Paul led all AHL scorers in '89-'90 with 53 goals and 52 assists, setting team records for both goals and points. A natural scorer, he's worked hard on defense and is becoming a valuable all-round player.
Sean Burke
Burke, the most valuable player in Phoenix last year, posted the league's third-best save percentage (.922). He set a career highwater mark with his stingy 2.27 goals against average.
Gary Bergman
Drafted off Montreal list in June, Gary was a staunch Springfield defender last season, his fifth in pro minors. Prematurely balding, Gary has speed and good shot off a point. He led AHL defensemen in goal scoring last season.
Gary has spent over 100 minutes in penalties each of five pro years.
80s-90s ERA
Patrick Roy
NHL 87-88 Leader in Save Pct. (.900). 3rd best GAA in 87-88.
Barry Gibbs
A constant offensive threat, Barry is one of the steadiest defensemen around. He's no stranger to body, contact either, and still holds the Minnesota record for most penalty minutes in a season with 182 in 1969-70. Barry came up through the Boston organization, and came to the North Stars as part of a trade with the Bruins in 1969.
Bob Armstrong
Steady-going defenseman who isn't easily fooled by would-be scorers.
Prematurely balding Bob was grabbed by Boston's chief scout "Baldy Cotton".
Bobby Orr
What to do for an encore is the yearly problem facing Bobby. First All-Star choice 4 straight years. Only man to win 4 league awards in one season. Holds record for defensemen with 37 goals. Scored goal which gave Boston Stanley Cup in 1970. A superstar when he was just 20.
Boston once sponsored a whole team to get the rights to Bobby.
CLASSIC vs. MODERN
CLASSIC ERA
The number one draft choice of the Atlanta Flames in their first season of play, Jacques is one of the fastest skaters around. He's very accurate around the net, a deadly shooter.
Jacques comes from a family of nine children
MODERN ERA
A stout player and a strong hitter, Carcillo saw action in 18 NHL games in 2006-2007 and scored four goals. He was a third-round pick in the 2003 draft (73rd overall).
Dick Gamble
Dick came to the Black Hawks this season from Montreal. He broke into the N.H.L. with Montreal during the 1951-52 season and was part of the N.H.L.'s highest scoring rookie front line. That year he scored 20 Goals and 17 Assists for 40 Points. The next season, he was credited with 11 Goals. Injuries were Dick's nemesis last season, causing him to miss better than half the games.
