Gretzky scored his first NHL goal on October 14, 1979 against the Vancouver Canucks. It was his third NHL game. http://www.oilersheritage.com/history/big_memories_gretzky_first_goal.html
Wayne Gretzky's record breaking goal was actually his 73rd goal but I don't remember who he scored it on.
Wayne Gretzky
Wayne Gretzky scored his 801st goal on December 30, 1994, against the Vancouver Canucks. The goal was given up by goaltender Kirk McLean. This goal marked a significant milestone in Gretzky's career as he moved closer to breaking the all-time goals record.

His first NHL goal was actually a penalty Shot so no assit. His first goal in a game was assisted by Glen Anderson and Jarri Kurr

Behind the goal. Gretzky was so skilled behind the net, especially with his wrap around goals, the area became widely known as 'Wayne Gretzky's Office'.
Trick question- it was an empty nety goal
