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.
