This record turns out to be a tie. On January 10, 1920, the Montreal Canadiens trounced the Toronto St. Pats 14–7. Sixty-five years later, on December 11, 1985, the Edmonton Oilers slipped by the Chicago Black Hawks 12–9. The record for most goals by one team in a single game is also held by the Canadiens, who netted 16 against the Quebec Bulldogs’ three on March 3, 1920.

Which NHL player has won the most scoring titles?

Wayne Gretzky, not too surprisingly, won 10 Art Ross Trophies (1981–87, 1990–91, 1994), the award the NHL has given for the league’s regular-season scoring leader since 1947–48. Prior to that season, a number of players such as Joe Malone, Newsy Lalonde, Bill Cook, and Charlie Conacher won the scoring title twice, but no single person earned it more times than that. The runners-up to Gretzky for Art Ross Trophies are Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux, each with six. The Great One has also won the most Hart Trophies — nine — for most valuable player in the NHL during the regular season. Number 99 accomplished that feat eight seasons in a row from 1980 to 1987, then added a ninth Hart in 1989 after he was dealt to the Los Angeles Kings.
