The Most Of Everything: NHL Records For The Curious

My 9 year old son is fascinated with The Stanley Cup Playoffs. Usually he loves hockey, but if it’s not The Lightning or The Penguins, (yes *sigh* he’s a Pens fan. He didn’t get that from me), then he’s not interested. He’s suddenly taken a liking to The Devils. He asked me what single player made the most goals during a single game, and how many. I couldn’t answer him. I had to look it up. When we think stats and NHL records, one name comes to mind. Gretzky. “The Great One” …and for good reason! I’m wondering if the man is even human. Tonight I thought I’d list some interesting NHL records.

Worst Penalty Kill Percentage in a season: 68.24%, by 1982-83 Los Angeles Kings

Worst Away Record: 1-41-0, by 1992-93 Ottawa Senators

Notes: The length of the above seasons varies from 70 to 84 games. Ties were only recorded until 2003-04. In 1999–2000 the NHL started to award points to teams that had lost in overtime, leading to a system in which teams could potentially earn 3 points between them in a single game, rather than a fixed number of two previously. After the 2004-05 NHL lockout the league eliminated ties meaning that any game which went to overtime would be a three point game. These changes in points awarded therefore make strict comparisons in wins, losses, and points before and after these dates slightly problematic.
