Wayne Gretzky’s single-season goals – 92 goals (1981-82) In the 1981-82 season, Gretzky set a jaw-dropping record by scoring 92 goals in a single season, a feat that still stands today. This accomplishment is remarkable not only for the sheer number of goals but also for the level of competition he faced in an era of highly skilled goalies.

On Feb. 24, 1982, a 21-year-old Wayne Gretzky took the first giant step in setting the bar for most goals scored in a single season. The Great One only needed a single goal that night to surpass Phil Esposito's 76 goal single-season record, which stood since 1970-71. Instead, No. 99 earned a hat trick for the Edmonton Oilers in a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, setting the new mark in his third NHL season. After an 80-game season, the legendary centre was able to score 13 more goals to set the record securely at 92.
