First point was 9:49 into his first NHL game on Oct. 10, 1979 vs. Chicago. Lowe from Callighen and Gretzky. Lowe’s 1st goal so Gretzky gave him the puck.
2,857th point (or 3,239th point if you want to include playoffs) was in his last ever game, April 18, 1999 against Pittsburgh. Leetch from Schneider and Gretzky.

If it takes about a minute to watch two points, to watch video of all his points you’d be watching video for 27 hours straight.

Both were secondary assists. Which I find surprising.

I was at his last game. Bought the tickets months before when no one knew that was gonna be the end. I still have the 99 hat they gave out at the game.

Tony Esposito in net, that brings me back.

Wouldn’t Gretzky’s first professional point be with the Indiana Racers in the WHA? Or are we only counting NHL?

I’m still incredibly interested in finding out what percentage of his career points come from secondary assists

Gretzky could have had an extra c.300 goals, (and 300 less assists) but he was so unselfish that he’d pass to a team mate even when he had an empty net or easy goal…
Eg: like in the final play, the goalie is way off his line and it would be an easy slapper for 99, but he fakes& passes it for an easy tap in…
