Mogilny’s career extends far beyond his time in New Jersey. As one of the first Soviet players to defect to the NHL, he broke new ground with the Buffalo Sabres, where he achieved a remarkable 76-goal season in 1992-93 as one of the league’s most dominant scorers. Amassing 1,032 points (473 goals, 559 assists) in 990 career games, Mogilny’s earned All-Star honors twice, and won the Lady Byng in the 2002-03 season.
Mogilny retired from hockey following the 2005-06 season. He’s been eligible to enter the Hall-of-Fame since 2009. For 16 seasons, Mogilny has been passed on to be inducted to the Hall-of-Fame.
That streak finally comes to an end.
