Alexander Mogilny, who wore jersey number 89 for his entire NHL career, had an extremely productive professional hockey career over 16 NHL seasons. It is said that Mogilny wore number 89 because he was selected with the 89th pick in the 1988 NHL draft and because 1989 was the year of his defection and the beginning of his NHL career.

Here are Mogilny's career NHL statistics:

    ALEXANDER MOGILNY Vancouver Canucks 1996 CCM Vintage Throwback Away NHL Hockey Jersey, XL
  • 1,032 points in 990 regular season games (473 goals and 559 assists)
  • +81 for his career on-ice during the regular season
  • 86 NHL playoff points (39 goals and 47 assists)
  • .48 career goals per game (36th all-time)
  • 1.04 career points per game (39th all-time)
  • 20 career short-handed goals
  • Led NHL with 76 goals in 1992-93 season (tied with Teemu Selanne)
  • Stanley Cup Champion in 2000
Are those the stats of a top-tier NHL hockey forward? I'd say so.
