well to be fair that was his age 69 comeback
he left the NHL at 42, took the next 2 years off, played in the WHA through his 40s then one last year in the NHL at 51, playing with 39 year old Dave Keon (as a kid I sorta assumed Keon was even older than that) and briefly 40 year old Bobby Hull
Howe did score 15 that year
