List of NHL records (team)

This is a list of team records recognized by the National Hockey League through the end of the 2015–16 NHL season.

Season records

Notes: During the first eight years the NHL existed, teams played between 18 and 36 games in a season. Beginning in 1926, teams played 44-60 games. This would end in 1949 when teams now played 70 or more games. There have been two other instances when teams only played 48 games in a season. Both the 1994–95 season and 2012–13 season were reduced to 48 games due to a lockout. For more information, check the History of the National Hockey League.

Ties were only recorded until 2003–04. In 1983, the NHL added a five-minute overtime, and ties would only occur after 65 minutes. Starting in 1999, teams played with only four skaters (unless they were on a two-man advantage, when they would be awarded an extra skater until the next stoppage). Starting in 2015 the NHL began 3-on-3 overtime periods. The NHL credited one point for tie games to the loser 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. In 2005, the league eliminated ties meaning that any game which went to overtime would be a three-point game. Games that didn't end in overtime would end in a shootout between the two teams. These changes in points awarded therefore make strict comparisons in wins, losses, and ties (after overtime, 1983–99, and in regulation, 1999–present) before and after these dates slightly problematic.

Notes: An undefeated streak includes wins and ties. A winless streak includes losses in regulation, overtime, shootouts, or ties. After the 2003–04 season, the league eliminated ties meaning any game that wasn't finished in overtime would go to a shootout, so any undefeated streak can only include wins after this time. Overtime and shootout losses count as one point in the standings.
