REGULAR SEASON The Boston Bruins lead the league in overall points with 110. The defending Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders fell from first overall and finished tied for 6th overall and the high-powered, high offence, Edmonton Oilers tied for second overall. The Oilers set a new record, which they had just set the previous year, for most goals in a season with 424 and were lead by Wayne Gretzky 's 196 points. The Oilers also set a record for most 100-point players in one season on one team as Wayne Gretzky, Glenn Anderson , Jari Kurri , and Mark Messier all scored more than 100 points. For the start of the season, the Colorado Rockies (formally the Kansas City Scouts ) moved to East Rutherford, New Jersey and became the New Jersey Devils . They also moved to the Patrick Division, forcing a reluctant Winnipeg Jets organization to leave the Norris division and take Colorado's place in the Smythe. Some fans consider this season as the true end for the Original Six era, as the remaining 3 players from that era (Carol Vadnais, Serge Savard , and Wayne Cashman ) retired after the season. Cashman was the last to play, losing in the Stanley Cup Semifinals as a member of the Bruins.
