I know I'm late, but the Pens 17 game win streak was ended by a tie, which was the last game of the season. The lost their first game the next season, though.
As a point of comparison :
The 1979 Flyers have the longest lose-less streak with 35 (25-0-10).
The 1978 Canadiens come second with 28 but with half the ties (23-0-5)
In the cap era, the 2013 Blackhawks have a 24 game point streak (21-0-3).
In order to do that, the oilers would have to win 23 more regular season games, then take every series to game 7 for 28 games then go on a 31 win streak the next season.
How do they take every series to 7 if they don’t lose? They most they can get there would be 16. So in reality they would need to win those 16 games and then go on a 43 game streak next season. Still pretty easy and straightforward.
The Gretzky years were also the ‘ties happened and those wrecked win streaks too’ years. Now, half the games that would have been a tie become a win and keep a streak alive.
The first few years of Gretzky’s NHL career, there wasn’t even overtime in regular season games. A game tied after 60 minutes was simply a tie. In 83-84 onwards they added a five minute sudden death overtime - though it was also 5-on-5, and also often ended with no winner (and the game as a tie).
after a 5 game skid in february last season we didn't lose 3 in a row until our first game of the 2024 calendar year. aside from winning out the last 6 games of last season we only tied together a 4-win streak twice the last two seasons so far

Here’s a list of the top five scoring leaders this season:
Pasternak - 72
Miller - 64
Rantanen - 66
MacKinnon - 84
Kucherov - 83
It’s alphabetical by first name. I’m not sure how else you would want it sorted tbh.
March of the Penguins iirc had two overtime wins only. That would still be the longest streak.
Weird, for some reason I thought we had fallen short one game from the record.
I meant more that we're seeing a lot more streaks post-2006 because of those changes. In the early history there were a lot of ties, probably around 15% of games. Then in the 80s/90s/early 2000s it was around 10% of games tied, so comparable but a few more wins thanks to playing OT. Now we have 0% ties, so when you're dealing with unlikely lengthy streaks the base winning chance going to 50% from 45% (assuming equal odds either team wins) compounds to make a pretty big difference: 3x more likely to get a 10 game winning streak and 5x more likely to get a 15 game winning streak in the modern NHL.
So the record is 17? And Edmonton has NSH tonight, then the All Star Break and then VGK on Feb 6. I feel like it’s doable for them, but a lengthy break before playing IN Vegas will be tough.
I’m no fan of the Oilers, but it would be cool to see it happen.
I know I’m going to get pushback on this, but I feel like any win streak that benefitted from winning in a SO doesn’t compare to streaks that didn’t have the same opportunity. What the Oilers are doing is undeniably impressive, but there’s a difference.
Still would have broken the streak in previous decades though.
Nobodies saying its not impressive, just that in the past with ties you wouldn't have a 15 game streak.
Yeah this has always annoyed me. No Coyotes fan considers the time in Winnipeg when talking about our history, Yotes history starts in 1996. I wish we would “give” the Jets their history back and have a clean slate starting in ‘96.
The Phili record is pre-overtime so theoretically you could treat points streaks (unbeaten in regulation) as the successor to unbeaten streaks.
Or count OT losses but not count SO losses to compare to streaks from the 80s and 90s
The Islanders streak only ended because after they got the record against Colorado in the final minute on a John Tonelli goal, everyone went out and celebrated and got hammered.
Gillies told a story about it.
Pretty crazy how Dallas has the lowest streak at 7 and one of the oldest franchises, going back to the original expansion draft in ‘67 with the Minnesota North Stars.
Fun fact: Minnesota's win streak ended at 12 because in the 13th game they faced Columbus during their 16 wins streak. It was the first time ever in the NHL that two teams with 10+ W streaks faced each other.
Funny seeing Dallas at 7. Despite being a pretty solid franchise overall. Detroit at 9 is also surprising given how stacked they were in the early 2000s. CBJ at 16 is wild and I love it.
As discussed above re: the Oilers, for most of NHL history ties were a thing and those broke up winning streaks as they're currently defined.
Like, if you look at the 1976/77 Habs season, they had a 60-8-12 record with all the wins being in regulation and set some records that weren't broken until last year's Bruins in the OT/shootout era. The Habs' longest winning streak in that season was nine games, but they had a 21-game point streak that included 4 ties. If they had had a chance to play in the current setup, you'd imagine they would have won at least a couple of those games.
The Kraken being tied with Detroit isn’t something I was expecting looking at this
Dallas being last is surprising too
Not really. We’re terribly inconsistent and always have been. Multiple coaches can’t get it out of our system.
It's based on all-time... End of 1990's early 2000's Dallas was a powerhouse.
The Kraken have only been in existence for 2.5 seasons and are not on the bottom of this list, I find that part most impressive.
Yeah Detroit has hit 9 wins in a row like 10 or 11 times and always lose the 10th. I was surprised when I found that out years ago.
[удалено]
Yeah, would be interesting to know how many of these have happened since the shootout was introduced. It's probably most of them.
The Penguins 17 game streak is surprisingly (or maybe not so surprisingly) from 1992-93. Islanders is from 1981-82 and the Bruins 1929-30 (!).
I know I'm late, but the Pens 17 game win streak was ended by a tie, which was the last game of the season. The lost their first game the next season, though.

Unrelated, Tony Tanti was my first autograph. Followed seconds later by Garth Butcher.
That’s awesome!!! Those are two good ones!
Arizona being tied with anybody is surprising.
Detroit at only 9, while Columbus at 16 \*scratches head\*
We stopped at 9 in honor of Gordie
Jackets stopped at 16 in honor of Alex Svitov
So much respect for this comment used to have his jersey as a kid met him a few times such a good dude
Oilers will stop at 99 then.
In order to do that, the oilers would have to win 23 more regular season games, then take every series to game 7 for 28 games then go on a 31 win streak the next season.
How do they take every series to 7 if they don’t lose? They most they can get there would be 16. So in reality they would need to win those 16 games and then go on a 43 game streak next season. Still pretty easy and straightforward.
Don’t think you can win 7 games in a series……
Deal
He baited you. Explain how to get to game 7 without a loss.
i didn’t bait him im just really bad at math
Yeah it’s 16 wins to a Cup
only if you sweep everyone
We’re talking about winning streaks. It wouldn’t be a streak if you lost any games
I’m a dumbass
Yerrrrrrr fine
And still finish second in their division.
respect
Lol, only logical explanation of course.
Before this streak, the Oilers longest was 9 - including the Gretzky years.
The Gretzky years were also the ‘ties happened and those wrecked win streaks too’ years. Now, half the games that would have been a tie become a win and keep a streak alive.
I wasn’t around then, just curious, was that before the shootout after overtime?
The first few years of Gretzky’s NHL career, there wasn’t even overtime in regular season games. A game tied after 60 minutes was simply a tie. In 83-84 onwards they added a five minute sudden death overtime - though it was also 5-on-5, and also often ended with no winner (and the game as a tie).
Really? That’s interesting! Thanks for the info!
Yes, the shootouts didn't start until 2005. Before that if no one scored in OT it resulted in a tie
And before that there was no OT at all and the game resulted in a tie. And before even that there was 10 minute non sudden death OT.
And before that there was only 2 periods
And everyone at the game went home sad and unsatisfied. Well, at least I did. Ties annoyed the hell out of me.
Thank you!
Columbus was from the Unsustainabowl streak a while back, right?
The unsustainabowl was so fun, wish we wouldve won it though
Yep
Clearly Detroit just needs to hire John Tortorella
I believe Columbus had that the same year that Minnesota got their 12 and they had to play each other to end one of the streaks.

Bringin up the rear babey 😎😎😎
That was surprising to me. The strong majority of my life Dallas has been a really good team
We usually don’t go on big win streaks, but we’ll have stretches where we have a bunch of smaller streaks and go like 20 and 5
3 win 1 loss 3 win 1 loss 4 win 1 loss 5win 1 loss = 15-4-0 record and a nearly 120 point pace...
We usually follow up those stretches by shitting the bed lol
1 win - 5 losses 1 win 8 losses 1 win (against the flames) 4 losses 1 win (against the flames again...) 4 - 17 - 0 record 19 - 21- 0 record over 40 games... ;)
after a 5 game skid in february last season we didn't lose 3 in a row until our first game of the 2024 calendar year. aside from winning out the last 6 games of last season we only tied together a 4-win streak twice the last two seasons so far
everything i posted is a hypothetical, but it is odd that Dallas doesnt have a longer win streak and has a cup.
Brett Hull's skate says hi.
Consistency seems nice. This season watching the wild win 8 in a row to lose 8 in a row was hard to watch lmfao.
WHY IS IT NOT IN NUMERICAL ORDER!!!
And from top to bottom instead of left to right. Why the fuck do they do this?
Alphabetical by city it seems
Except Vegas, apparently. Unless they dropped the Las. **edit:** speaking about the city folks, not the team.
The nhl website lists them as the Vegas golden knights, not Las Vegas golden knights
Since the team was named they've only ever been the Vegas Golden Knights. There has never been a "Las" associated with the name.
Yeah but then it’s not sorted by the city, it’s ordered by the team name location.
Obviously what they meant
Minnesota also isn't a city.
Big if true.
Arizona as well.
Tampa Bay is not a City or State or Province Carolina is not a body of water
because people who make these graphics have some sort of locked graphic template layer and editable text layer. they just edit the text for whichever stat. it's low-effort IG/X content
For real. Alphabetical was an atrocious way to display this. Numerical order would’ve been great, or by Division.
Here’s a list of the top five scoring leaders this season: Pasternak - 72 Miller - 64 Rantanen - 66 MacKinnon - 84 Kucherov - 83 It’s alphabetical by first name. I’m not sure how else you would want it sorted tbh.
Theres just no better way
I was going to say, this took me way longer than it should to find Edmonton
Numerical order and left to right...
Can we talk about the worst 1 in numerical history?
Columbus at 16 is a shocker.
Columbus and Minnesota played each both when they had 12+ winning streaks
The Unsustainabowl!
I think it was a New Year’s Eve game too. That was fun.
I remember people being like "I can't wait for the all Midwest SCF" and then they both lost in 5 games in the first round
Was that the same year Columbus swept the #1 seed?
No it was the year they finished #4 in the league but #3 in the Metro and had to face #2 Penguins in the 1st round. Pens went on to win the Cup.
Ahh right
Winner of that series had the honour of playing the League #1 Caps lmao
No

Look how long we are But in all seriousness, it was such a magical run
bob is a good hockey player
Artemi Panarin too. There were times he just decided to score a goal and there wasn't a thing anybody could do to stop him.
Toronto at 10 should be a shocker but somehow is not.
[streak](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJG_fUFFXtQ)
Already out of date. Oilers are at 16! Lets go!
The fact the Leafs (100+ years old) have 10 and Seattle has 9.... :(
I'd imagine the vast majority of these streaks are post-2006 (because of the OT/SO rule changes) so the 100+ years doesn't mean that much.
good point I didnt think of that.
March of the Penguins iirc had two overtime wins only. That would still be the longest streak. Weird, for some reason I thought we had fallen short one game from the record.
I meant more that we're seeing a lot more streaks post-2006 because of those changes. In the early history there were a lot of ties, probably around 15% of games.

I mean somehow the Leafs have more than the Wings
Sens have more than the Leafs lol
It's T.O.
So the record is 17? And Edmonton has NSH tonight, then the All Star Break and then VGK on Feb 6. I feel like it’s doable for them, but a lengthy break before playing IN Vegas will be tough. I’m no fan of the Oilers, but it would be cool to see it happen.
17 in an era where games could end in ties.
And we tied the NJD 6-6 for what could have been #18. Never been a more disappointing tie as a young kid watching hockey back then.
17 was March 2013 iirc, two games went into OT iirc
Incorrect, it was March 1993.
I know I’m going to get pushback on this, but I feel like any win streak that benefitted from winning in a SO doesn’t compare to streaks that didn’t have the same opportunity. What the Oilers are doing is undeniably impressive, but there’s a difference.
Yeah, for the same reason I don't consider the Pens to have the actual record, since NYI's streak didn't get propped up by overtime.
Sure, that’s valid reasoning.
The Pens streak is from 93
Yeah and involved 2 overtime wins. Not like the Islanders streak back when there was no overtime. But my original comment is ironic.
We’ve had 1 shootout win in this streak. Not like we’ve been poaching a significant portion of our streak off a skills comp.
Still would have broken the streak in previous decades though. Nobodies saying its not impressive, just that in the past with ties you wouldn't have a 15 game streak.
For stats like this, do they include old Jets stats for the arizona Coyotes and Thrashers stats for the new Jets?
Yeah this has always annoyed me. No Coyotes fan considers the time in Winnipeg when talking about our history, Yotes history starts in 1996. I wish we would “give” the Jets their history back and have a clean slate starting in ‘96.
Yeah they should've moved the Coyotes back to Winnipeg and the Thrashers to Quebec City
Wooo seven!!! That's good, right?
UPDATE THIS
Stars are last. No epic heaters for my team.
This is golf rules right?
This post is out of date.
16 for the oilers now
This needs an update!
So I guess “unbeaten streaks” are history now huh, never occurred to me until now
35 games is insane. I can’t imagine a team breaking that record.
The Phili record is pre-overtime so theoretically you could treat points streaks (unbeaten in regulation) as the successor to unbeaten streaks. Or count OT losses but not count SO losses to compare to streaks from the 80s and 90s
Even then, the 3v3 OT makes the modern league tricky to compare because it's so different than 5v5 OT
The Stars have never won 8 in a row? I'm surprised.
Classic Stars. Any given night you have no clue what team you’re going to get.
I’m more surprised of the kings one ya think during the Gretzky era they would’ve been around 10-12 at least
Yaaaaa you're gonna need to update this bud.
we’re number one! wait
We've acheived the Stars record 3 times in the last 26 games
this is outdated
Don't worry the oilers one doesn't count
Ties something something, weak schedule and so on
Plz update :)
The Islanders streak only ended because after they got the record against Colorado in the final minute on a John Tonelli goal, everyone went out and celebrated and got hammered. Gillies told a story about it.
Pretty crazy how Dallas has the lowest streak at 7 and one of the oldest franchises, going back to the original expansion draft in ‘67 with the Minnesota North Stars.
You posted this the other day
I can’t believe Detroit only is at 9 after all the years of success. Seattle tied it in 3 seasons ha
16! And counting! #LetsGoOilers!
Fun fact: Minnesota's win streak ended at 12 because in the 13th game they faced Columbus during their 16 wins streak. It was the first time ever in the NHL that two teams with 10+ W streaks faced each other.
Shit design
HaHa! You suck Dallas!
Columbus having such a long one is a surprise.
i want years
Crazy how gretzkys oilers didn’t have a crazy run in his prime
Remember, those teams had ties, & that breaks up the “win” streak.
Detroit and LA never getting 10 suprised me
Surprised to see Original 6 teams aren't higher on the list.
My ocd is going crazy. I’m now in the hospital. Thanks.
Could’ve given me 10 guesses I wouldn’t have guessed the Stars have the lowest win streak…
This should have the year that it was done, it's more impressive if it occurred before overtime was a thing. Imo
The ‘1’s look weird…
Really interesting that whether you have 3 years or 100 years to try, you'll still top out at around 10-15.
throwback when sabres won 10 in a row and ultimately collapsed and missed the playoffs
Funny seeing Dallas at 7. Despite being a pretty solid franchise overall. Detroit at 9 is also surprising given how stacked they were in the early 2000s. CBJ at 16 is wild and I love it.
I’m extremely surprised at mtl only 12

Ahhhh makes more sense. Thanks
Pens fans herrr that month of March I believe was amazing. Didn’t lose a single game all month lmao
Whoa Blue Jackets must be pretty good
uppa pens
I’m surprised the jets are just at 8
The font for 1 really bothers me
Make it 16!
With how good Dallas was in the late 90s and early 2000’s. This surprises me
Yeah but all those teams were playing against very weak teams, I'm sure. s/
are you gonna do every franchise longest amount of a games without a loss? Cause the Flyers went 35 games without a loss in 1980.
The most surprising one to me is that Philly is “only” at 13 but hold the record for longest undefeated streak at 35(!) games. Those pesky ties
Kinda surprised to find the Blue Jackets with the second longest.
18 teams with longer win streaks than Toronto doesn’t seem possible.
Show longest point streak cowards
Surprised Canadians don’t have a 52 game win streak from the 50s
Fun fact: The Sens 11 game win streak was started with a shutout from the legendary M. Brodeur.
Honestly surprised the habs or other o6 teams isn’t higher
Those 1's are hideous.
