Glenn Anderson (b. October 2, 1960, Vancouver) played 16 thrilling NHL seasons with Edmonton, Toronto, New York, and St. Louis. A draft steal out of the fourth round in 1979, he dazzled as a clutch scorer—boasting five Stanley Cup titles with the Oilers ('84, '85, '87, '88, '90) and another with the Rangers ('94) .
Known for shining brightest in the playoffs, he notched 93 goals, 121 assists, and 214 points—ranking fourth all-time in postseason scoring. In Edmonton, Anderson starred with the famed "Production Line," twice scoring 50 goals and peaking with a 105-point season in 1981–82 .
He retired in 1997 with 498 goals, 601 assists, and 1,099 points over 1,129 regular-season games—plus a dazzling +201 plus/minus. His knack for game‑winning goals, including five playoff OT winners, earned him six NHL All-Star nods and a spot in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008.
