1984: Wayne Gretzky matches his NHL career high for points in a game with eight, scoring four goals and assisting on four others for the Edmonton Oilers in a 12-8 victory against the Minnesota North Stars at Northlands Coliseum.

It's the second eight-point game of Gretzky's NHL career and comes less than two months after the first, Nov. 19, 1983, against the New Jersey Devils. His big night highlights the highest-scoring NHL game in 64 years.

Gretzky also extends his NHL-record assist streak to 17 games. He has 38 assists during the streak, which ends three nights later against the Hartford Whalers.

Exactly two years later, Gretzky becomes the first NHL player with 100 points in seven straight seasons. He reaches the milestone with two assists in a 4-3 victory against the visiting Whalers.

And 11 years after that, Gretzky ties a New York Rangers record with four assists in the second period of a 6-4 win against the Ottawa Senators at Madison Square Garden.
