Set by Richard “night train” lane at 14 picks during his rookie season in 1952. With modern rules and schemes I just don’t think anyone ever gets close.

I think Wayne Gretzky having more assists than the #2 all time points leader in the NHL is crazier
This stat will stop being quite as ridiculous as it is right now if Ovi is able to break his goals record in the next few years, since it always goes with him also having the most goals too. Though Gretzky will still have nearly twice as many points as Ovi if he is able to get to 895 goals in the next few years.
My favorite stat from Gretzky is that the highest scoring 2 brothers in NHL history is Wayne and Brett Gretzky. Wayne with 2,857 and Brett with 4
My favorite stat is he’s the Fastest player 1000 points and the 2nd fastest player to 1000 points
You take away every goal he ever scored and he’s still the all time NHL point leader.
Gretz is the NHL all time goal leader.
I always thought this one was kind of dumb just cause how many brothers actually make the league together? Gasol brothers don’t even crack top 3 in NBA.
Looking forward to the Antetokounmpo brothers stat posts in 20 years
I mean the Staals, Sittlers, Sutters, and the Sedins (bonus points for being identical twins who played together) were all amazing pairs of brothers in hockey history
Koivu brothers were rather decent too I think.
Oh it’s obviously dumb but especially funny for the discrepancy.
NHL weirdly has a lot of good players that were brothers, Staals, Sedins, some others I can’t remember, so it’s more impressive than it sounds. That being said if Luke ends up being as good as the other Hughes bros, that record is likely to break in the near future.
