Dave Andreychuk was one of the NHL’s most durable and effective goal scorers, particularly known for his dominance on the power play. Over a 23-season career, he played in 1,639 games and scored 640 goals, placing him among the league’s all-time greats.

His 274 power-play goals remain the most in NHL history. Andreychuk’s size, strength, and smart positioning made him a consistent offensive threat, especially in front of the net. After years of persistence, he finally won a Stanley Cup in 2004 as captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning, cementing his legacy.

Drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 1982, he also had impactful stints with the Maple Leafs, Devils, Bruins, and Avalanche. Beyond his impressive stats, Andreychuk was respected for his leadership and professionalism on and off the ice.

He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017, a fitting recognition of his quiet excellence and longevity in the game.
