Wayne Gretzky’s 92nd Goal Overshadowed Another NHL Record That Still Stands
Wayne Gretzky’s 92nd goal in 1981-82 is one of hockey’s most legendary moments. But, that same night, the Edmonton Oilers also set another NHL record that still stands today.
Mark Messier scored 14 seconds into the game against the Kings, and Dave Lumley followed just 10 seconds later. Their goals in the opening 24 seconds established the fastest two goals by one team to begin an NHL game.
Then Gretzky added No. 92 later in the night as the Oilers rolled to a 6-2 victory in Los Angeles.
