The following is a list of all slovak ice hockey players which played, or are playing in the National Hockey League. It is sorted by all-time points scored.

Since the 1958-59 season, 66 slovak forwards and defencemen have played at least one game in the NHL. Also, there has appeared three goalies native from Slovakia.

At the top of this list, there is the unranked position of Stan Mikita. Stan Mikita was born in Slovakia, but left Slovakia (Czechoslovakia) at the age of 8. He learned to play hockey in Canada, not Slovakia, so his first place may be disputed by some sources. All other players started their pro-careers in Europe.

Active players are in bold. (At least one game played in 2005-06 season)
