The National Hockey League's all-time leader in regular-season goals is Wayne Gretzky, with 894. Prior to Gretzky, the league's most prolific scorer was Gordie Howe, who scored 801 goals. On March 23, 1994, Gretzky broke the record with goal number 802.
Gretzky scored 122 goals in the Stanley Cup playoffs during his career, so if we include the postseason, he is also the NHL's all-time leader, with 1,016.
For seven years, there was a second major league, the World Hockey Association. If we combine NHL and WHA totals, Howe comes out on top, with 975 (801 in the NHL, 174 in the WHA). In this category, Gretzky stands second, with 894 NHL goals and 46 in the WHA, for a total of 940.
If we factor in playoffs in both the NHL and WHA, Gretzky comes out on top. He scored 10 postseason goals in his single WHA season, for a grand total of 1,072. Howe is right behind him. He scored 28 playoff goals in the WHA and 68 in the NHL, for a total of 1,071.
