She entered the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games with 12 career Olympic goals and quickly surged toward the record, scoring in the opening game against Czechia before tying the top spot today. Her longevity is as impressive as her scoring touch; by taking the ice in Italy, she became the first American hockey player — male or female — to compete in five different Olympic Games.
Beyond her goal-scoring prowess, Knight’s overall Olympic production has been remarkably consistent across two decades. She currently sits at 29 career points (14 goals and 15 assists) in 24 Olympic games, a testament to her role as the “North Star” of the American program. While she already holds nearly every major record at the World Championship level — including most career goals (67) and points (120) — this Olympic milestone cements her legacy as the ultimate big-game performer for Team USA.
