According to the Penguins, “Since the 1967 NHL Expansion, the Penguins’ 15-season playoff streak is the eighth-longest run of any NHL club. No NHL team has had a more dominant 15-year stretch since Pittsburgh’s franchise-record playoff streak began in 2006-07. The Penguins 678 wins, .638 points percentage and 3,589 goals scored all rank first in the NHL over that span. Leading the way for Pittsburgh is none other than captain Sidney Crosby, whose 1,217 regular-season points over that span are more than any other player.”
