The Toronto Maple Leafs have been in the NHL since 1917, longer than all but one surviving franchise, and the record book reflects it. Some of it is a century old. Some of it is being rewritten by the player wearing 34.
Mats Sundin’s 987 points is the oldest of the big three career marks that still stands, set over 13 seasons from 1994 to 2008. George Armstrong’s 1,188 games have stood since 1971. And Turk Broda’s 304 wins and 61 shutouts, both set before 1952, won’t be approached by a modern goaltender.
The one that is moving is the goal record. Auston Matthews passed Sundin’s 420 and keeps going.
Who has the most points in Maple Leafs history?
Mats Sundin, with 987.
| # | Player | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mats Sundin | 987 |
| 2 | Darryl Sittler | 916 |
| 3 | Dave Keon | 858 |
Sundin’s total breaks down as 420 goals and 567 assists. The assist record belongs to Börje Salming, with 620, and has stood since 1989.
The record is not safe. Matthews finished the 2025-26 season with 780 points, a little over 200 behind, and he has had four seasons with 95 points or more. At that rate, the gap is about two seasons of work. Morgan Rielly is also climbing the assist list.

Who has scored the most goals for the Maple Leafs?
Auston Matthews, and the number keeps changing, which is the point.
He passed Sundin’s 420 during the 2024-25 season and finished 2025-26 with more than 425 career goals in a Toronto sweater. Every figure published for this record goes out of date within weeks, so the honest version is the one above: he holds it, he is still playing, and the mark is whatever he has reached since.
| Career record | Holder | Figure |
|---|---|---|
| Goals | Auston Matthews (active) | more than 425 |
| Points | Mats Sundin | 987 |
| Assists | Börje Salming | 620 |
| Games | George Armstrong | 1,188 |
| Penalty minutes | Tie Domi | 2,265 |
| Seasons with the club | George Armstrong | 21 |
Sundin’s 420 goals is the mark Matthews passed.
His 69 goals in 2023-24 are also the single-season club record, and his 69 points as a rookie in 2016-17 are the rookie record. He is the only player holding three of the club’s headline scoring marks at once, and two of them are his to break again.

What are the Maple Leafs single-season records?
| Record | Holder | Figure | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goals | Auston Matthews (active) | 69 | 2023-24 |
| Assists | Doug Gilmour | 95 | 1992-93 |
| Points | Doug Gilmour | 127 | 1992-93 |
| Points by a rookie | Auston Matthews (active) | 69 | 2016-17 |
| Penalty minutes | Tie Domi | 365 | 1997-98 |
| Power-play goals | Dave Andreychuk and Wendel Clark | 21 | 1993-94 |
| Shorthanded goals | Dave Keon and Dave Reid | 8 | 1970-71 and 1990-91 |
| Goals by a defenseman | Ian Turnbull and Al Iafrate | 22 | 1976-77 and 1987-88 |
| Points by a defenseman | Ian Turnbull | 79 | 1976-77 |
Gilmour’s 1992-93 is the outlier season in club history. His 127 points are 20 clear of anything Sundin or Matthews has managed, and his 95 assists are 28 clear of the next-best. He arrived from Calgary a year earlier in a trade that Toronto still argues about.
Turnbull’s 79 points from the blue line in 1976-77 have stood for almost fifty years. Rielly’s best is 72.

What are the Maple Leafs team records?
| Record | Figure | Season |
|---|---|---|
| Most wins | 54 | 2021-22 |
| Most points | 115 | 2021-22 |
| Most goals for | 337 | 1989-90 |
| Fewest goals against | 69 | 1928-29 |
| Best points percentage | .701 | 2021-22 |
| Worst points percentage | .278 | 1918-19 |
| Longest winning streak | 10 games | October 1993 |
Two of these are recent, and that is unusual for this franchise. The 2021-22 team won 54 games and took 115 points, both club records, and lost in the first round.
The two oldest marks need their schedules attached to make sense. The 69 goals allowed in 1928-29 came in a 44-game season, and the .278 in 1918-19 came in an 18-game season played under the club’s original name, the Toronto Arenas. Neither compares to a modern 82-game year.
The Leafs have won the Stanley Cup 13 times, the last in 1967.
Who holds the Maple Leafs goaltending records?
Turk Broda, on every career measure, from a career that ran from 1936 to 1952, either side of two years of war service.
| Record | Holder | Figure | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wins, career | Turk Broda | 304 | career |
| Shutouts, career | Turk Broda | 61 | career |
| Games, career | Turk Broda | 629 | career |
| Wins, season | Frederik Andersen | 38 | 2017-18 |
| Shutouts, season | Harry Lumley | 13 | 1953-54 |
| Save percentage, season | Jacques Plante | .944 | 1970-71 |
Broda’s three career records are the safest marks in the book. A modern starter plays 50 to 60 games a year, so 629 games would take more than a decade of uninterrupted work, and no Leafs goaltender since Curtis Joseph has come close.
Plante’s .944 in 1970-71 is the strangest line here. It came in his second-to-last full season, in his forties, over 40 games.
What is the best single game by a Maple Leaf?
Darryl Sittler, 7 February 1976 against Boston: six goals and four assists in an 11-4 win. Ten points.
Half a century later, it is still the most points any player has recorded in one NHL game, by anyone, for any team. Nobody has managed nine.
The club’s other single-game marks are six goals, shared by Sittler and Corb Denneny, and six assists, shared by Babe Pratt and Doug Gilmour.
Which records could fall next?
Three are genuinely in play, and all three belong to retired players whose marks have stood for decades.
| Record | Holder | Challenger | Roughly how far |
|---|---|---|---|
| Career points, 987 | Mats Sundin | Auston Matthews | two seasons |
| Career games, 1,188 | George Armstrong | Morgan Rielly | three seasons |
| Career assists, 620 | Börje Salming | Morgan Rielly | three to four seasons |
Rielly’s run at the games record takes him past Tim Horton, Salming, Keon, and Sundin along the way, reminding us how rarely anyone has stayed in Toronto long enough to matter on that list.
Everything else in the book is effectively settled. The goaltending records, Gilmour’s 1992-93, Domi’s penalty minutes, and Sittler’s ten-point game probably won’t be touched.
Where does this data come from?
Career and single-season figures come from the NHL’s own records database, and were cross-checked against Hockey-Reference’s career leaders for the franchise and its season leaders.
