NHL Team Records That May Never Be Broken

from NHL.com,

Consecutive games with a point

The mark stands at 35 games, set by the Philadelphia Flyers from Oct. 14 1979 to Jan. 6, 1980. During that stretch, the Flyers won 25 games and tied 10 more, taking 60 of a potential 70 points in the process. Since then a few teams have put together impressive streaks, but the Chicago Blackhawks have come the closest, starting the 2012-13 season with at least a point in 24 straight games, not even 70 percent of the way to the mark set by the Flyers, who lost in the Stanley Cup Final that season.

Fewest home losses (minimum 70-game schedule)

The Montreal Canadiens lost one of the 40 games they played at the Montreal Forum during the 1976-77 season, putting together a 33-1-6 mark to take 72 out of a possible 80 points during the regular season before winning 12 of 14 playoff games to claim the Stanley Cup.

Since the start of the 2005-06 season, no team has lost fewer than four home games in regulation during a full 82-game season; that was accomplished by the 2006-07 Detroit Red Wings. Those Red Wings, however, lost another eight games in overtime or the shootout to finish 29-4-8 in 41 games at Joe Louis Arena, taking 66 out of a possible 82 points to claim 80.4 of the home points available. The '76-77 Canadiens claimed 90 percent of the home points available.
