Longest point streak by a goaltender?

[DeadGhost]

Curious, what's the longest point streak (Goals/Assists) by a goaltender? Can't imagine it's any more than 3 games in the modern era.

Do you mean assists and goals, or team wins & ties? There will be drastically different numbers for those

He says "Goals/Assists" in the post.

I don't know the answer myself, although I'd like to. It's something on the longer list of things to add to my database, so I hope I'll know eventually.

@morehockeystats may have pulled these data already.

No, I am at SEAHAC. I might run the query on Monday.

So, here's the summary:

Since the 1917/18 season 60 goaltenders have put so far 89 point streaks (i.e. at least a point in two consecutive appearances). This does not imply the goaltender played in two consecutive games, this condition was not enforced, unlike on skaters.

The longest streak is indeed 3 games (game dates are listed), and it occurred five times:

TOM BARRASSO 19850315-19850317-19850322
TOM BARRASSO 19881016-19881019-19881022
ED BELFOUR 20011123-20011201-20011202
RICK DIPIETRO 20081226-20090102-20100108
HENRIK LUNDQVIST 20110105-20110107-20110111
The most recent 3-game streak, therefore belongs to Henrik Lundqvist

The most recent 2-game streak belongs to Jonathan Quick and it's not even a year old: 20180319-20180322

The first recorded goaltender point streak belongs to Al Smith: 19720229-19720302

Tom Barrasso also leads the way with the number of point streaks at 6.
Also more than one streak had:
Grant Fuhr (4), Martin Brodeur (3) Tim Cheveldae (3)
Ed Belfour, Sean Burke, Alain Chevrier, Rick DiPietro, Marc-Andre Fleury, Mario Gosselin, Dominik Hasek, Ron Hextall, Michel Larocque, Kari Lehtonen, Rejean Lemelin, Roland Melanson, Evgeni Nabokov, Mike Palmateer, Bill Ranford, Dwayne Roloson, Ken Wregget with two such streaks.

Full file of streaks attached.

Thanks for doing that. Surprised there were so many.
