Gretzky 's record of 15 regular season overtime assists has now been passed by three players. They are Nicklas Lidstrom ( 16 ), Adam Oates ( 17 ), and Mark Messier ( 18 ). Joe Sakic ( 16 ), Mark Messier ( 14 ), and Ray Bourque ( 13 ) have passed Gretzky 's record ( 12 ) for most All - Star game assists. Wayne Gretzky finished his career with a 1.921 points per game average. Only Mario Lemieux, then retired, had a better points per game average at that time. Lemieux came out of retirement in 2000 and played until midway through the 2005 -- 06 NHL season. Lemieux 's points per game average dropped to 1.883. This gives the record back to Gretzky. Unofficial records Along with his numerous official records, Wayne Gretzky also has many `` unofficial '' records. These other records - though not recognized by the NHL Official Guide and Record Book - are still significant records. NHL scoring records Youngest player to score 50 goals in a season ( 19 years, two months ) Most points by an NHL player in his first year : 137. Because of Gretzky 's season played in the WHA, he was not considered a rookie in his first year, so the rookie record belongs to Teemu Selanne with 132 Most assists by an NHL player in his first year : 86. The rookie record is held jointly by Peter Stastny and Joe Juneau with 70 assists. Note that the record book gives Gretzky the record for most assists and points in a game as a first year player, but not the season totals Most 200 - or - more point seasons : 4. Gretzky owns the official record for most 100 point seasons. He is the only player to reach 200 points in a season Most consecutive 200 point seasons : 3 Most 70 - or - more goal seasons : 4. The NHL has a record for most 60 goal seasons, but not 70. Eight players have achieved 70 goals, and Brett Hull did so three times.

The quickest, 50 goals in 39 games, is often labelled as the most difficult one to break of all of Gretzky 's records.
