Sam Gagner's Legendary Oilers Comeback

Sam Gagner rockets into the Top 100 Oilers list at 29 — a massive leap from 62 — thanks to one of the most electrifying performances in franchise history: an eight-point game in 2012 that tied him with Gretzky and Coffey for the Oilers’ single-game scoring record. Drafted 6th overall in 2007, Gagner was a steady scorer for seven straight seasons, known for his shootout wizardry and the iconic “Gagner” move. After bouncing around the league and even playing in the AHL, he returned to Edmonton as a free agent in 2023, scoring twice in his first game back. In his final NHL season, he tallied five goals and ten points in 28 games before retiring after 1,000+ games and nearly 200 goals. A true warrior who never backed down, even on bad teams — and whose legacy is forever sealed by that legendary eight-point night.
