List of NHL players with 1,000 points

As of completion of the the 106th regular season of play of the National Hockey League (NHL)98 different ice hockey players have scored at least 1,000 regular season points in their NHL career. All players who reach this mark receive the NHL Milestone Award; the award was introduced in 1982, and all who achieved the accomplishment prior to then were also granted the award.
A 1,000-point career was first achieved in the 44th year of the NHL (), when Gordie Howe scored his 1,000th point in his 938th game. The first (of only eight) defenceman to reach 1,000 points was Denis Potvin, playing in his 987th game during the 70th year of the NHL ().
==Season achievements==
The 1997–98 NHL season saw the largest number of players (six) achieve their 1,000th point. A total of five players scored their 1,000th point in the season.
Beginning with Gordie Howe's achievement in , and ignoring the cancelled (lockout) season of , there have been 16 seasons in which no player happened to score their 1,000th career point. Of these 16, there were six seasons between Gordie Howe and the second player, Jean Beliveau, to make it to the 1,000-point mark.
On April 10, 2023, Claude Giroux of the Ottawa Senators and Joe Pavelski of the Dallas Stars both recorded their 1,000th career point. This was the first time in NHL history that two players scored their 1,000th point on the same day.
==Player achievements==
The fewest NHL games required to reach the mark was 424, set by Wayne Gretzky. Second quickest was Mario Lemieux, achieving the mark in his 513th game. In a sense, Gretzky was the fastest and the second fastest, as he scored his second 1,000 points (the NHL's only player ever to score 2,000 points in regular-season play) only 433 games after scoring his first 1,000 points. Of the eight defensemen to score 1,000 points, the fewest NHL games required was 770, set by Paul Coffey.
The slowest player to achieve 1,000 points was Patrick Marleau with 1,349 games followed by Nicklas Lidstrom with 1,336.
Of the 98 players to score at least 1,000 points in their career, 56 reached the mark in fewer than 1,000 career games played.
Dave Andreychuk came closest to the statistical coincidence of scoring 1,000 points in exactly 1,000 games, scoring his 1,000th point in the 998th game he played.
Of those on the list, Brian Propp came closest to 'not' achieving 1,000 points — reaching the mark with only eight games remaining in his final NHL season. Lanny McDonald scored his 1,000th point with only ten games remaining in his final season.
Fourteen players could have made the list on assists alone. Wayne Gretzky, Ron Francis, Mark Messier, Ray Bourque, Paul Coffey, Adam Oates, Steve Yzerman, Jaromir Jagr, Gordie Howe, Marcel Dionne, Mario Lemieux, Joe Sakic, Joe Thornton, and Sidney Crosby have had at least 1,000 regular season assists in their NHL careers.
==Team achievements==
A total of 24 different NHL franchises have had a player score their 1,000th point while playing for the franchise. Including three franchises that have changed cities, there have been 27 different teams that have celebrated a player's 1,000th point.
Seven players scored their 1,000th point while playing for the Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Toronto Maple Leafs, and six have done so with the Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, and New York Rangers.
Only three times have multiple players reached 1,000 points on the same team in the same season. The Washington Capitals had three teammates score their career 1,000th point during the season—Adam Oates, Phil Housley and Dale Hunter. The Toronto Maple Leafs had two teammates, Doug Gilmour and Larry Murphy, achieve the mark during the season. The Ottawa Senators had two teammates, Daniel Alfredsson and Alexei Kovalev, reach the mark during the season.
