On this day in 1982

 Wayne Gretzky scores three goals in Buffalo as Edmonton beat the Sabres 6-3. His first goal passes Phil Esposito for most goals in an NHL season. His second passes Bobby Hull for most goals in a hockey season. (Hull had 77 in the 1974-74 WHA season.  NHL wouldn't or still don't recognize the WHA). Gretzky finishes the 1981-82 season with 92 goals.
