I love this @npr.org graph. Compare Wayne Gretzky’s goal-scoring pace with Alex Ovechkin’s. What do you notice? What do you wonder? What does it mean? Discussions of slope, and how to calculate rates of change for curves, abound here. Pretty good calculus warmup 👌🏽 www.npr.org/2025/03/23/n...

Graph title: Alex Ovechkin is 7 goals away from passing Wayne Gretzky as the NHL's top scorer

Description: Gretzky and Ovechkin stand apart from the rest of the NHL's top 50 goal scorers. Only three other players in the NHL's top 50 are still active — Sidney Crosby, Steven Stamkos and Evgeni Malkin (bolded on the chart).

Gretzky’s pace is faster, but then slows down, whereas Ovechkin’s pace has been relatively steady.
