How do you get 34?

Is it on a double or triple word score? Are any letters on a double or triple letter score? Too many varying options, I can't handle it anymore!

I get Gretzky as only 24 pts. G(2) + R(1) + E(1) + T(1) + Z(10) + K(5) + Y(4) = 24pts

Where Zyuzin is... Z(10) + Y(4) + U(1) + Z(10) + I(1) + N(1) = 27pts

Rautakallio is a measly 15 points. What a ripoff.

Yzerman, Laraque, Zigomanis all under 20.

I don't know if Zyuzin works because there is only one Z tile. Also, you only get seven tiles in Scrabble so the long names are shot.
