What is my code missing? It will only print the final key/value in the final object in my array!

Here's what I have. All that will print is "points: 1990" and I don't understand why. :/

var students = [
  {
  name: 'Ned',
  track: 'JavaScript',
  achievements: 99,
  points: 9999
  },
  {
  name: 'Pete',
  track: 'CSS',
  achievements: 6,
  points: 666
  },
  {
  name: 'Fiesta',
  track: 'Party',
  achievements: 69,
  points: 6969
  },
  {
  name: 'Frida the Cat',
  track: 'Cat Stuff',
  achievements: 4,
  points: 999
  },
  {
  name: 'Nas',
  track: 'Wife is Nice',
  achievements: 302,
  points: 1990
  }
]

for ( i = 0; i < students.length; i++) {
  for ( key in students[i] ) {
    document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = '<p>' + key + ': ' + students[i][key] + '</p>';
  }
}

Answering my own question. It should have been "+=" and not "=" within the for/in loop.
