He played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League (NHL) for four teams from 1979 to 1999.

In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 16 professional seasons, 14 of them consecutive. At the time of his retirement in 1999, he held 40 regular-season records, 15 playoff records, and six All-Star records.
