Who holds the most records in the NHL?

With 60 NHL records in regular-season, playoff, and All-Star games, Wayne Gretzky, of course, holds the individual record of records. Upon his retirement in 1999, the Great One actually had 61 records, but two of his records were eclipsed and he got one back. Gretzky’s record of 15 overtime assists has now been passed by Nicklas Lidstrom, Adam Oates, and Mark Messier, while his record of 12 All-Star Game assists has been beaten by Mark Messier, Ray Bourque, and Joe Sakic. When Mario Lemieux came out of retirement and played more games, he lost his points-per-game-average record, which now belongs to Gretzky again at 1.921 points per game. Some of Gretzky’s loftier records, ones that will likely never be surpassed, are most regular-season goals (894), most regular-season assists (1,963), most regular-season points (2,857), most playoff goals (122), most goals in one season (92), and most assists in one season (163).
