This is a list of team records recognized by the National Hockey League through the end of the 2023–24 NHL season.
During the first eight years the NHL existed, teams played between 18 and 36 games in a season.
In 1983, the NHL added a five-minute overtime, and ties would only occur after 65 minutes.
Starting with the 1999-2000 season, the NHL credited one point to the team that lost in overtime,[1] leading to a system in which teams could potentially earn three points between them in a single game, rather than a fixed number of two previously.
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.
