Gretzky then set a new precedent in four of the next five seasons, culminating with a preposterous 163 assists in 1985-86. In all, Gretzky surpassed 100 assists 11 times. Mario Lemieux and Orr were the only other players in the 100-assist club until McDavid and Kucherov reached the milestone this season.1. Wayne Gretzky, EDM, 1985-86: 1634.
