He amassed 684 goals and 773 assists for 1,457 points across 1,451 games.
Selänne was instrumental in the Ducks’ 2007 Stanley Cup championship and represented Finland in six Olympic Games, winning four medals. If I could just sleep through that season, I would.

2002–03
San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks was an early Stanley Cup favorite, and Teemu was bursting with excitement, but the season turned into a major disappointment … The Sharks missed the playoffs … Team Finland lost the World Championship QF 6-5 to Sweden on home ice, having led the game with 5-1 … Teemu scored a hat-trick in the game … Signed for one year with the Colorado Avalanche as a free agent.
That was a disaster of epic proportions, and the biggest nightmare of my career.
With one more, Selanne will separate himself from Esposito and take sole possession of 3rd place, but is Brett Hull’s 265 mark within reach?
All-Time Power Play Goals
[table id=82 /]
With the shortened season, realistic expectations assume Selanne could score somewhere in the area of 6-8 power play goals, depending on health and the effectiveness of the Ducks power play.
He holds numerous team scoring records for both the Winnipeg/Arizona franchise and the Anaheim Ducks. In 2010-11, he had 16 of them in 73 games. He played 21 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Winnipeg Jets, Anaheim Ducks, San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche. In a shortened season, Selanne will be hard-pressed to repeat these totals, but it still feels somehow wrong to call Shanahan’s 109 game-winners out of reach.
Teemu Selänne’s legacy is one of class, consistency, and unforgettable moments.

I missed hockey so much, and learned to appreciate the times I could play injury-free. Not bad, eh?
Collecting the 57 points necessary to catch Stan Mikita at 14th is a reach in a 48 game season and then the gaps begin to get even larger, so it appears as though Selanne will be settling in at 15th, at least for now.
Whether 2013 is Teemu Selanne’s curtain call remains to be seen, but watching his ascension through some of the most esteemed records in the history of hockey will undoubtedly be one of the greatest stories to come from the 2013 season.

Teemu Ilmari Selänne (born July 3, 1970) is a Finnish former professional ice hockey winger.
In 2017 Selänne was named one of the ‘100 Greatest NHL Players’ in history. On June 26, 2017, Selänne was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame as the second Finn after Jari Kurri.
Selänne was a first-round selection of the Jets, tenth overall, at the 1988 NHL Entry Draft, but initially remained in Finland. I lived in the now.
You either have it, or you don’t.
