Best Answer

The 1974-75 season was the first to feature 80 games.

The final season of the Original Six era in 1966-67 consisted of 70 games. This was bumped up to 74 in 1967-68, two more the following year, and 78 in 1969-70. There are currently 82 games in an NHL season. This started in the 1995-96 season.
