The Sabres beat the Islanders 3-0 last night to tie the 1993-94 Maple Leafs' record of 10 wins to start a season. Which team holds the NHL record for longest winning streak overall?

Ummm how could they have tied Toronto when the game before last they lost in a shootout? After last nite they stand at 10-0-1

The Philadelphia Flyers had a long non-losing streak about 20 years ago, but they still had ties back then.

My guess would be the Montreal Canadiens. :cool:

The 1992-93 Penguins won 17 straight from March 9 to April 10.

The question must have been taken from somewhere else and posted after last Thursday night. That win over my Isles :bang: was their 10th in a row. The loss to Atlanta on Saturday was their 11th game, and had they won the SO, it would have been the record.

As for the question itself, I'd guess the Flyers, although I have this feeling about Detroit...

Or I could be writing my response as the answer is being posted :o

Has to be the Pittsburgh Penguins, early 90s... something like 15 or 16

Devils came very close in 2001...

Still the longest unbeaten streak in North American professional sports. :)
