Howie Morenz led the Montreal Canadiens in goals and points 7 years in a row (ties with Joliat in points for the first one).
Nels Stewart led the Montreal Maroons in goals and points 6 seasons in a row.
Closest I can find among the really early guys.

My bad. That season was actually Gretzky's 6th season leading the Oilers in both goals and points.
I cannot see anyone matching Ovechkin on this. It has to be a combination of:
- one really good offensive player who outclasses EVERYbody else on the team for 10 years
- a goalscorer who also racks up assists
- a not-very-good team offensively, such that one player can dominate even with trough seasons (like Ovie's 32 goal season)

matnor made this thread on the # of times a player led his team in points, goals, and assists in total (not consecutive): http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1580739. It's accurate through 2012-13.
Players who led their team in goals and points 8 or more times each (non-consecutive):
Gretzky: 19 times for points, 8 times for goals
Howe: 17 times for points, 15 times for goals
Sundin: 13 times for points, 11 times for goals
Jagr: 12 times for points, 10 times for goals
Dionne: 12 times for points, 8 times for goals
Hawerchuk: 12 times for points, 8 times for goals
Sakic: 12 times for points, 10 times for goals
Iginla: 11 times for points, 10 times for goals
Lemieux: 11 times for points, 10 times for goals
Esposito: 10 times for points, 11 times for goals
Oveckin: 10 times for points, 10 times for goals
Brett Hull: 9 times for points, 11 times for goals
Selanne: 8 times for points, 8 times for goals
I would look at these players if you want to figure out who is closest to Ovechkin.
Were Yashin's 9 time in points and 7 times leading his team in goals consecutive?

Great health is another thing Ovechkin has going for him. Plenty of players had their streaks broken by injuries rather than a decline in ability.
Iginla is still the best out of these guys, wth 7 consecutive. So Morenz and Iginla with 7 is probably the closest to Ovechkin.
I'm surprised that this hasn't been raised before.

No they weren't.
It has been. In post 21 and 27, respectively. I think he was throwing it out there to see if it could be corroborated better. I started to do a check in order to produce a table, but I've given up for the time being.

I meant the fact that Ovechkin has broken this record three times before it was brought up on the HOH board. It seems like something someone would have kept track of.

The streak is over, the record stays at 10.
Ovechkin led the Capitals with 50 goals, but Kuznetsov was the leading point scorer with 77 to Ovechkin's 71.

Unlikely candidate, Earl Reibel led Detroit in points during the 1954-55 NHL regular season.

huge bump here, hopefully nobody gets upset....
Ovechkin has now lead his team in goals and points in the same season FOURTEEN times. Tied with Dylan Strome as of today in both stats, may perhaps end the season at FIFTEEN times.

Bernie Federko lead the Blues in points every season from 1978-1988 with the exception of 1987; Doug Gilmour lead the team that year.

For anyone wondering - McDavid is up to 4x only so far. Having Draisaitl hurts him here.
Matthews has done this 3x, and is 2 points behind Nylander this year, but if he passes him could do it a fourth time.
Kucherov has done it 3x and is on pace to do it a 4th time this season (1 goal ahead of Point only)
MacKinnon has done it 3x and is on pace to do it a 4th time this season
Out of the list posted above - impressive to see Crosby do it 10x with Malkin (and even Guentzel for goals) on his team

Ovechkin also led Dynamo in goals and points during the half-lockout season by the way.
