In a career of 897 games, Krushelnyski recorded 241 goals and 328 assists for 569 career points; his single best season was 1984-85, in which he scored 43 goals and 88 points while often playing as a winger on a line with Gretzky and Jari Kurri. He played for Detroit Red Wings retiring after the 1995 season. He was then an assistant coach with Detroit when they won the Cup in 1997, but left after winning his fourth championship.
