Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy top the list of NHL players who have scored 50 goals in a season. Alex Ovechkin could tie them this season.

Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy top the list of NHL players who have scored fifty goals in a season, as they each have done so nine times. Bossy had nine consecutive seasons scoring 50 goals to start his career. His final 10th season and career was cut short due to injuries.

Maurice Richard was the first NHL player to score 50 goals, and he did so in 50 games.

Bobby Hull was the first player to have multiple 50 goal seasons.

Alex Ovechkin is the newest member of the 50 goal club, joining Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl and Chris Kreider who scored his 50th earlier this season.

Alex Ovechkin hits 50 goals, joining Gretzky and Bossy at nine 50 goal seasons
