Alexander Mogilny was the first ever European to lead the league in goals scored, first Russian to be named to the NHL all-star team, and is (as of the end of the 2005-06 season) the second all-time Russian scorer in the NHL. Mogilny should have also been the first Russian player to scored 1000 points in the NHL but several injuries have delayed him from reaching that goal until finally fellow Russian Megastar Sergei Fedorov reached the mark just a few games before Mogilny. Fedorov later said in an interview saying "I really have to share this honor with Alexander Mogilny. I knew he would've reached the mark much earlier than I did if it wasn't for his injuries."^{[citation needed]} This is a list of NHL statistical leaders by country of birth, sorted by total points. ...

Current Events

• According to a weekly edition of Hockey News, Mogilny spent his last couple weeks in the summer driving Evgeni Malkin around in L.A. to the practice rinks and sharing with him the stories of Mogilny's defection back in 1989.
• After the return of Patrik Elias in January 2006, the Devils assigned Mogilny to the Albany River Rats, their AHL affiliate at the time.
• On the eve of the 2006-07 season, the Devils were applied for and were granted an injury exception for Mogilny's degenerative hip. [1] The exception technically does not remove Mogilny from the team's payroll; Mogilny will continue be paid his US$3.5 million salary for the season, but the exception means the league will allow the Devils to exceed the salary cap by that same amount.
