Lemieux's PPG pace was 1.81. Gretzky's was 1.92. Lemieux played 950 games, Gretzky 1487.
If Lemieux plays the same number of games as Gretzky, he winds up with 2691 points compared to Gretzky's 2857. Ironically, 166 points shy of Wayne.
That's actually a lot closer than I was expecting it to be. I do think it's remarkable Lemieux never played 1000 games. Truly the Bobby Orr of forwards.
