Stan Mikita. 21. player. 94. . C/RW. Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks’ all-time leading scorer is Stan Mikita. It is uncertain if he will still hold that title 5-7 years from now but he has been for a very long time now. He had 541 goals and 926 assists for 1467 points in 1396 games. It was an incredible run for this man over a remarkable 22 years that he spent all with the Blackhawks. He was as good of a man off the ice as he was on the ice as well.

Stan was, of course, a Hall of Famer. He won the Stanley Cup with Chicago in 1961, made the all-star team eight times, won the Lady Byng Trophy twice, the Hart Trophy as the league MVP twice, and the Art Ross as the league’s leading scorer four times. His number 21 is retired by Chicago and there is a statue of him built outside of the United Center.

Mikita is forever going to be known as one of the greatest players this franchise has ever had. Multiple players would have to come in and have all-time great careers to knock him off this list. He isn’t just one of the best players in Blackhawks history, but one of the best players in National Hockey League history. Being the Blackhawks’ (a  century-old franchise) leading scorer is a fantastic thing on his resume. His 926 assists lead the team all-time as well. Mikita is one of the team’s all-timers.
