Which NHL team won a record 17 consecutive games in the 1992-93 season?

The Pittsburgh Penguins won a record 17 consecutive games during the 1992–93 NHL season.

The streak ran from March 9 through April 10, 1993, surpassing the New York Islanders’ previous mark of 15 straight victories from 1981–82. Pittsburgh’s run came during one of the strongest regular seasons in franchise history: the Penguins finished with the NHL’s best record and 56 wins.

Mario Lemieux was central to the team’s success. He returned from Hodgkin lymphoma during the season and helped drive the Penguins’ spectacular late-season surge. The roster also featured stars such as Kevin Stevens, Rick Tocchet, and Tom Barrasso.

The record is sometimes confused with Pittsburgh’s postseason winning streak. The Penguins also won 14 consecutive playoff games spanning the 1992 and 1993 playoffs, but the question’s 17-game figure refers to regular-season victories.
