The 'Most NHL goals by an American' quiz

In the Olympic quarterfinals against Sweden, it was Quinn Hughes who scored the game-winner in overtime to send Team USA to the semifinals. 

In the gold-medal round, it was his brother Jack  minus some teeth who scored in OT to secure the Americans their first men’s hockey gold medal since the "Miracle on Ice" in 1980 with a 2-1 win over Canada. But after the game, Hughes refused to talk about himself. 

"Unbelievable game by [goalie Connor] Hellebuyck, he was our best player tonight by a mile," Jack Hughes told NBC’s Kathryn Tappen. "Unreal game by our team. That’s just a ballsy, gutsy win."

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Hughes was the NHL’s top overall draft pick in 2019, has two All-Star games, a 40-goal season and now an Olympic gold medal to his name. With that being said, can you name the American-born NHL players with the most goals in one season?

Good luck!
