Team Achievements
Excluding the six split-team players above, the Pittsburgh Penguins have had the most incidents of a player achieving 100 points during the franchise's history, with 30. 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. Three franchises have had 100 point players in their original city, but not their new city: Minnesota North Stars (now Dallas Stars), Winnipeg Jets (now Phoenix Coyotes) and Atlanta Thrashers (now Winnipeg Jets).
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).

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or achievements:
“Once a word is spoken, a team of four horse cannot retake it.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
