Teams with multiple 100-point scorers that missed the playoffs

[The Panther]

Watching the Oilers' typical home-ice disaster tonight (losing 5-3 to AHL New Jersey Devils, on the second night of their back-to-back) brings to mind how Edmonton will miss the playoffs with probably two 100-point scorers on the roster. McDavid hit 100 points just a few minutes ago, and Draisaitl is sitting on 89 in 69 games.

In franchise history, not surprisingly, the Oilers have never had two 100-point scorers and missed. (Well, they haven't had two 100-point scorers since 1989, and the franchise didn't miss the playoffs until 1993.)

So, I'm wondering, how many teams have had multiple 100-point scorers and missed the playoffs?

The 89-90 Penguins, they had Lemieux and Coffey each reach 100+ points but Mario season was cut due injury I believe.

 

[Normand Lacombe]

1989-90 Penguins. Lemieux with 123 points and Coffey with 103.

 

[Hockey Outsider]

1988 Quebec nordiques with Stastny and Goulet (111 and 106 points).

 

[Cursed Lemon]

The Kings in 80 and 81 made the playoffs, but no one seemed to let Dionne, Taylor, and Simmer know that.

The Kings in 80 and 81 made the playoffs, but no one seemed to let Dionne, Taylor, and Simmer know that.

Before my time, but I looked it up. Dave Taylor scored 4 goals in 8 games against dynasty Islanders and the '81 Rangers, so he should get a pass here, no? Actually, he and Dionne both had 7 points in 8 games those two playoffs. Seems not so bad...?

I thought maybe the '94 Kings had done this, but Robitaille had only 86 points. What a trainwreck team that was...

If Lindros had got three more points (he missed 19 games) in 1993-94, the Flyers might have "achieved" this that season. (Recchi had 107.)

Anaheim 95-96 sort of.. Kariya and Selanne had 108, but of course Teemu played only 28 games in Ducks jersey. Missed the playoffs by 1 point.

What’s worse is that they lost it to Winnipeg! The Jets/Ducks combined record with Selanne would have been good for 4th seed in the conference.

 

[The Panther]

So, only the '88 Nords and the '90 Pens have "done" this? Surprised.

(I checked early Hartford, but nope!)

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

my guesses were larouche/pronovost on the penguins, chouinard/macmillan on the atlanta flames, and rogers/stoughton on the whale, who all made the playoffs. i guess two 100 point scorers have to try really hard to miss the playoffs when all but five teams make it.

List of all the teams with multiple 100 points scorer:
Player Season Finder | Hockey-Reference.com

2 100 players never occurred before 1971 and almost all occurrence are 1993 or before, mostly in seasons when making the playoff was really easy.

I thought I did find a way for excel to look all of them with a list of playoff finder from hockey reference, not sure if robust but it gave me only the already named Nordiques and Penguins and no other case.

81-82 Kings had Dionne (117) & Taylor (106). Team's record was 24-41-15. But they made the playoffs.

(I checked early Hartford, but nope!)

I wouldn't expect that many based on pre/post 1994 realities:
Before 1994 - lots of 100 point players & few teams missed the playoffs
After 1994 - lots of teams missed the playoffs & few players produced 100 points

 

[MaxV]

81-82 Kings had Dionne (117) & Taylor (106). Team's record was 24-41-15. But they made the playoffs.

I feel like this one should count.

 

[Ishdul]

Not 100 points but in the strike shortened 2012-13 season Tampa had the #1 and #2 scorers with St. Louis and Stamkos and finished 3rd last in the league.

 

[tony d]

I believe the 1990 Penguins came close to making the playoffs as well. Got to think if Mario plays a full season they make it.

 

[Big Phil]

The 1988 Penguins missed by a point too. However, while Mario had 168 no one else had more than 79. That being said, Coffey came in a trade and had 67 points in 46 games. I would think just like 1990 had Mario played the 21 games he missed, that if Coffey played the 34 games in 1988 they make the playoffs too (Coffey was on a clear pace to crack 100+ points.

Yeah, but poor Connor. Edmonton is the loser here but the NHL and the fans are too. How can they have such little depth?

The three of them combined for a PPG of 1.61 in the regular season those two years.

The playoffs? 0.84

 

[barbu]

Era adjusted, I would say stamkos and st louis win this in 2011-2012 and 2013.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

The Aves may be able to achieve this feat as well.

 

[boredem]

Serious question, watching Draisaitl continue to rack up points had me thinking about how sad it is going to be to miss the playoffs with 2 players over 100 points (potentially).

Has this ever happened before?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Im sure it happened a lot when scoring was higher.

 

[JoVel]

I don't think any team has ever had even one 2,100 point player.

 

[Jacob]

not only that but they're still in the bottom 3rd in the league in goals for.

 

[Dust]

Good chance there could be two teams that do it this year with Colorado as well.
