More incredible numbers put up by the Great One, Wayne Gretzky, as he head the list of NHL Single Season points leaders. Gretzky's NHL scoring records include 4 seasons in which he scored over 200 points.

Mario Lemieux fell 1 point short in 1988-89, a year in which he ended up playing 76 games. If Lemieux was able to stay healthy throughout his career, there is no doubt his name would be on this scoring list with higher numbers. His 1992-93 season, Mario finished the year with 160 points in only 60 games.

Out of the top 13 highest point totals in a single season, Gretzky holds 9 of them, Lemieux the other 4. Bobby Orr's 139 points in 1970-71 is the highest defenseman total. 16 players have scored over 150 in a season.
