10 crazy numbers from the NHL's regular season

With the NHL regular season finally coming to a close, here are 10 of the craziest numbers to come out of it:

87 - The number of points recorded by Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn, who swooped in and stole the Art Ross Trophy with a four-point performance on the final day of the season. It's the lowest tally for an Art Ross winner in a non-lockout season since 1967-68, when Stan Mikita won the title with 87 points.

1.091 - Sidney Crosby's league-best points-per-game average after racking up 84 points in 77 games for the Pittsburgh Penguins. It's the first time in 67 years that no qualified player averaged more than 1.1 points per game over the course of the season; Elmer Lach led in 1947-48 with a 1.017 PPG average.

3.06 - The average number of power plays per team per game in 2014-15, the lowest total since record-keeping began in the early 1960s. To put this incredible stat in perspective, teams averaged 5.85 power plays per game in 2005-06, the first season following the last lockout.

16 - The number of points separating the Presidents' Trophy-winning New York Rangers (113) from the Calgary Flames (97), who had the lowest point total of any playoff qualifier. It's the smallest gap between No. 1 and No. 16 in league history, beating the previous record of 18 points set in 2003-04.

18 - The number of times the Anaheim Ducks rallied from behind in the third period to win, more than any team in league history. The Ducks also won an NHL-best 12 games when trailing after two periods; in comparison, the Penguins didn't register a win all season when behind after 40 minutes.

7 - The number of players on Detroit's active roster who weren't even born when the Red Wings began their streak of straight playoff appearances, which was extended to 24 this year. It's the longest active streak in professional sports, and tied for the fourth-longest run in NHL history.

3 - The number of hat tricks Anaheim winger Corey Perry recorded on the season, the only player in the league to reach the mark. Just one player has racked up five hat tricks in a season since 1995-96: ex-San Jose Sharks forward Jonathan Cheechoo, who had five in 2005-06.

178, 130 - The draft positions of Ottawa Senators forwards Mark Stone and Mike Hoffman, respectively. Stone, drafted in 2010, finished tied with Johnny Gaudreau atop the rookie scoring ledger with 64 points (26 goals, 38 assists), while Hoffman, selected in 2009, led all first-year players with 27 goals.

69 - The number of times the Buffalo Sabres were outshot this season, outdistancing the runner-up New Jersey Devils (64). The Sabres finished dead last in average shots on goal for (24.2) and against (35.6), with their -11.4 shot differential the league's worst since the 2001-02 Atlanta Thrashers.

7 - The number of teams that qualified for the 2014-15 Stanley Cup playoffs after missing the postseason the year before (Calgary, Nashville, N.Y. Islanders, Ottawa, Vancouver, Washington, Winnipeg). It's the largest playoff turnover in league history.
