60-Goal seasons stars who have achieved the feat

Scoring 60 or more goals in an NHL season is a remarkable achievement that only a handful of players have been able to accomplish. These players have cemented their place in hockey history by displaying unparalleled skills and a goal scoring ability that very few can match.

The list of players who have scored 60 or more goals in a single season includes some of the greatest names in NHL history. Wayne Gretzky tops the list with four seasons of 70 or more goals. He scored a record-setting 92 goals in the 1981-82 season. Mario Lemieux, Brett Hull, and Mike Bossy also feature prominently on the list with three 60-goal seasons each.

Other players to have achieved this remarkable feat include Alexander Mogilny, Teemu Selanne, and Pavel Bure, who all scored 60 or more goals in back-to-back seasons. The list also features a number of players who accomplished the feat during the 1970s and 1980s, including Phil Esposito, Jari Kurri, and Steve Yzerman.

The most recent additions to this list are Auston Matthews, Steven Stamkos, and Connor McDavid. McDavid's achievement was particularly noteworthy as he scored his 60th goal in just 72 games, becoming just the fourth player since 2000 to accomplish this feat.

Scoring 60 or more goals in a single season is a testament to a player's skill, determination, and consistency. It requires not only a high level of individual talent but also the ability to work effectively with teammates and seize opportunities when they arise.

As the NHL continues to evolve and players become faster and more skilled, it remains to be seen whether we will see more players join the exclusive 60-goal club. But for now, these players remain an inspiration to young players everywhere. A reminder that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible.

Ovechkin Breaks NHL Record: Most 40-Goal Seasons in League History

Alex Ovechkin, the Russian superstar for the Washington Capitals, holds the record for the most 40-goal seasons in NHL history. Ovechkin recently surpassed the previous record held by Wayne Gretzky, who had 12 seasons of 40 or more goals.

Ovechkin's incredible scoring ability has been on display since he entered the NHL in 2005. He has consistently been one of the league's most dominant offensive players. His combination of speed, skill, and a blistering shot has made him a nightmare for opposing goaltenders.

Ovechkin's 13 seasons of 40 or more goals are a testament to his exceptional talent and consistency on the ice. He has already established himself as one of the greatest players in NHL history. The 37-year old, who is 75 goals shy of breaking Wayne Gretzky's all-time record, has a chance to further cement his legacy in the sport.
