For those wondering, Jarome has 32.
A goal is a goal, and the haters saying Ovi's record is not impressive because of the EN is just ridiculous. He has 5 more than Wayne.

And as far as 61 vs 56 goes, teams pull the goalie MUCH earlier now than they did back in Gretzky's era, so there are much more opportunities for empty netters.
But even ignoring that fact, 61 vs 56, when we're talking over 800 goals for each, is immaterial statistical noise.
