He scored his 100th NHL point on 17 April 2006 , the Pittsburgh Penguins ' 81st game of the 2005 – 06 season . The oldest player to achieve a 100 point season is Gordie Howe , who was 41 years old and playing in his 23rd NHL season when he reached 100 points during the 1968 – 69 season - only a few days after Phil Esposito had become the first ever player to score 100 points .

Excluding the same six players , the Pittsburgh Penguins also had the greatest number of unique players achieve 100 points , with 12 . The Boston Bruins have had nine different players achieve 100 points while with the team . The Boston Bruins were the first team to have four players achieve 100 points in the same season , 1970 – 71 . This has been matched by only two other teams , the Edmonton Oilers ( three times ) and the Pittsburgh Penguins . The Pittsburgh Penguins have had at least one 100 point player in 20 different seasons . The Los Angeles Kings and the Colorado Avalanche ( formerly the Quebec Nordiques ) have both achieved this feat in 14 different seasons . The Edmonton Oilers had at least one 100 point player in eleven consecutive seasons , from 1979 – 80 to 1989 – 90 . The Los Angeles Kings are the only team to have two players achieve 150 + points in the same year , with Wayne Gretzky ( 168 points ) and Bernie Nicholls ( 150 points ) achieving this in the 1988 – 89 NHL season . This feat was almost matched in the 1995 – 96 NHL season by Mario Lemieux ( 161 points ) and Jaromir Jagr ( 149 points ) . Three franchises have had 100 point players before and after the entire team moved : the Hartford Whalers / Carolina Hurricanes , the Atlanta Flames / Calgary Flames , the Quebec Nordiques / Colorado Avalanche . Two franchises have had 100 point players in their original city , but not their new city : Minnesota North Stars ( now Dallas Stars ) and Winnipeg Jets ( now Phoenix Coyotes ) . Only one city - Atlanta - has had players from two different franchises ( Flames and Thrashers ) score 100 points in a season , due to the Flames organization leaving in 1980 and the Thrashers franchise arriving in 1999 . Minnesota ( North Stars and Wild ) is presently the only other franchise where this would be possible . Five franchises currently playing in the NHL have never had a player achieve 100 points : New Jersey Devils ( started as Kansas City Scouts in 1974 – 75 ) , Florida Panthers ( started 1993 – 94 ) , Nashville Predators ( 1998 – 99 ) , and the two newest teams , Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild ( 2000 – 01 ) . As noted above , the three youngest franchises arrived at a time when the 100 point player was not as common as in previous years . The oldest of these five franchises , the Devils , has won three Stanley Cup championships relying on a strong defensive style rather than offense .
