Which NHL player holds a rather odd NHL record: the most regular season games played in a season. Who is he ? So we're looking at a guy who got traded in an 82 game season and got a couple of extra games in via the trade. You've got to give a hint on this one, I would bet the guy with the record has like 85 games and then there are 5 guys with 83 games or something. |

It was probably in the 84 game seasons of the nineties. I’m guessing someone with 86 games. |

He got the answer right but the number wrong. When I read it, I remember people talking about it when it happened, so I nodded and thought "good for BadHab..." but I paused for a second because I was sure Brodeur - my initial guess - had more than that. He does. 45. So does Fuhr ("Otto wrists one on net from the top of the circle, and Fuhr steers that to the corner where Coffey picks it up and skates out...Coffey...into the zone...Coffey takes it deep in the corner, finds Kurri...Score!!!) and Roy. And so does Barasso. Record's 48 not 44. Not what I have, I'm seeing Barrasso with 44 assists as the all time leader, You may be looking at point totals since there are a few goals in there maybe. www.quanthockey.com/nhl/records/nhl-goalies-all-time-assists-leaders.htmlI'm going to guess the NHL's own stats trump quanthockey. www.nhl.com/stats/goalies?reportType=allTime&seasonFrom=19171918&seasonTo=20192020&gameType=2&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,1&sort=assists&page=0&pageSize=50 Barasso with 48, Fuhr 47, Roy and Brodeur with 45. Brodeur second in points with 47 thanks to 2 goals. Barasso never scored a goal. |

I had a vague memory of this from when it happened, but the memory attached itself to the wrong deal. I was thinking Gary Leeman or Jamie MacCoun in the Gilmour deal. I am wrong, but I now know the answer because I was trying to figure out why I had that false memory. I was off by a season or two. You're right about a couple of things - it's the result of a trade (don't know how it could be anything else...maybe waivers, but guys who get waived also get scratched) and there are 5 guys with one fewer game played. Also really bizarre? The guys who come in 7, 8, 9 and 12 on the list are all current NHL GMs, and two of those four guys played for the Bruins. |

The article was hilarious with the author losing his mind looking and looking and looking. I was going to go with...#Buston Matthews who had 34 as a sophomore. But I think it's Glen Murray with 44 in #44 in 2002-03. It's an interesting puzzle given that the question is "highest." Probably a dozen defensemen a year who hit their number, but the trick is who both had a high number and scored a lot of goals. Start at the very top and you've got Wayne coming impressively close to 99, but not quite. Hull wore a normal number. Lemieux's the first one where you go "oooo...maybe..." but no. He never finished with 66 in a year. Jagr never got to 68. Espo didn't wear a stupid number. Ovechkin doesn't wear a stupid number. Bossy, Kurri, Lafleur...not many stupid numbers pre-Gretzky...and that should twig that the answer really has to be post Gretzky when people started wearing numbers outside of 1-21 without putting on a chest protector. Then you think of the stars who wore non-traditional numbers and scored big goal totals. You know not many guys got over 60 goals, and not many guys have worn numbers in the 60s as star players. Lemieux, Jagr, Marchand.... Nope. Then you're in the 50s and so few players have both a) scored a lot of goals and b) worn a stupid number in the 50s. Most of the stupid numbers are versions of traditional numbers that are taken or retired (77, 91, 93) or draft year numbers, so they're mostly in the 70s or above. And not that many players have scored 50 or more, and again, their numbers are pretty easy to remember. So then it's the 40s and a few guys who wore a 40something early and then switched. But then there's 44. The double Orr, or Beliveau, and suddenly you have contenders: Bertuzzi's a contender (nope). So's Brian Bradley - 42 goals wearing #44 in Tampa Bay. Rob Brown (49 in #44). But the only one to land on 44 was Murray. The hint was that the number was less than 40 |

Record of 86 games in a season was set by Jimmy Carson in 92-93 when he was traded to the Wings. It was tied the next year by Bob Kudelski when he went from Ottawa to the Florida. Ottawa also traded Mark Lamb that year and he ended up playing 85 games. I wasn't answering to give others a chance once I guessed, missed, and then figured it out by cheating. |

But the only one to land on 44 was Murray. The hint was that the number was less than 40 Yeah, and I keep forgetting that he has to be wearing that number the season he gets the total. So I'm back to thinking #Buston. I thought maybe Gilmour, but he never got that close to 40 again after he left StL and only wore 39 in Calgary. I did a bit more digging. Here are some fun near-misses. Zetterberg had 39 goals early in his career...one more and he'd hold the mark at 40. Rosie Ruzicka should have stopped on 38, but went for 40 and stalled at 39. Chris Drury was 37 in his heyday with the Avs but switched to 23 for one season in Buffalo...then had 37 goals. But I can't find anyone who did it before #Buston. |

It has to be someone before Gretzky, so I will take a shot with Bobby Clarke, though I'm not real confident he got 10. Let me think about this one, have to dig into my days of reading the backs of hockey cards. |
