Best Answer

1995-96 season. The Red Wings had 131 points on a 62-13-7 regular season record.

Sorry, but that's wrong. The Red Wings had the most wins in a season (62) in 1995-1996 when they went 62-13-7, but the team with the most points is the Montreal Canadians who had a 60-8-12 record in 1996-1997--giving them 132 points.

Also, notice that Montreal achieved their 132 points in an 80 game season, while Detroit got their 131 points in an 82 game season.

Please note that the year that Montreal had 132 points was 1976-1977

Who has the best record in NHL history?

The 1995-1996 Detroit Red Wings hold the best record in NHL history at 62-13-7 Sorry, but that's largely inaccurate. Detroit hold the record for most wins in one season (62), but a team's record is determined by total points in the standings, including those gained in ties. That Red Wing team are 2nd by that standard, their 131 points just one behind the 132 rolled up by Montreal Canadiens in 1976-77. However, the NHL season has varied in length through the league's history, and obviously more games played allows a team to accrue more wins and more points. In the more meaningful terms of winning percentage, the '95-96 Wings rank 6th, with a .799 mark. Boston Bruins hold the all-time NHL standard, their 38-5-1 record in a 44-game season giving them a .875 winning percentage. Canadiens rank 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 7th on the list -- 38-5-7 in 1943-44, .830; 60-8-12 in 1976-77, .825; 59-10-11 in 1977-78, .806; 38-8-4 in 1944-45, .800; and 58-11-11 in 1975-76, .794.
