Longest Scoring Streaks

[golfortennis]

I was going over some info, and Crosby's recent 19 game streak got me thinking about scoring sctreaks. I know Gretzky's record is 51, Lemieux had 46. I know Lafleur had the record at 28 at one time, and I saw in some Gretzky info I have he had 39 and 30 as well. Does anyone know the top 10-15 scoring streaks in league history? Google didn't exactly turn up much other than Gretzky or Lemieux.

This year's guide & record book aren't of too much more help.

Kind of funny how in other threads about top scorers, Gretzky didn't get as much mention as stats like this scream out

I think Paul Coffey holds the record for defensemen: 28 games in 85-86.

I took 2 minutes and looked at the data that I had on Gretzky, and arbitrarily chose 10 games as a significant streak. Gretzky had 33 of them. He also had several that carried over 2 seasons, however I did not count those as I am unsure as to whether or not they can carry over from one season tot he next. A couple of the streaks did have a DNP in the middle, so 33 may be number to be quibbled with, but I think it speaks to the consistency you mention.
