List of NHL players with 1000 points

The List of National Hockey League (NHL) players with 1,000 points is a list of the individual players who have scored at least 1,000 regular season points during their career in the NHL. A point in the NHL is awarded to a player for scoring a goal or to the player(s) that assists a player to score the goal; a maximum of two “assists” can be awarded per goal.

As of the completion of the 2015–16 season — the 98th regular season of play of the NHL — a total of 83 different ice hockey players have scored at least 1,000 regular season points in their NHL career. Since the beginning of the 2016–17 season, three more players have reached the milestone.

A 1,000-point career was first achieved in the 44th year of the NHL (1960–61), 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 (1986–87).

The most recent player to reach 1,000 points was Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He did so on February 16, 2017 against the Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck. The point came on an assist for a goal scored by Chris Kunitz.

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 1990–91 season.
