Prior to the start of the season, the conferences and divisions of the league were re-aligned to better reflect the geographical locations of the teams. Geographically-based names would not re-appear until 1993 , however. REGULAR SEASON The New York Islanders lead the league with 118 points, seven more than second place Edmonton Oilers . Wayne Gretzky of the Oilers had a record setting year breaking several prestigious records, including the record of 50 Goals In 50 Games , set by Maurice Richard and Mike Bossy , by scoring 50 goals in only 39 games. He also broke Phil Esposito 's record of 76 goals in a season with 92, his own assists record of 109, set the year before, with 120, and his own point total of 164, set the year before, with 212. He was the first, and thus far only, player to ever score 200 points in a season, accomplishing the feat four times over a five year span. Gretzky's record setting year was reflected in the Oilers' final standings as the Oilers set a record for most goals in a season with 417. Gretzky was in on over half of the Oilers goals.
