Wayne Babych - 54 goal, 96 pt career year. Next best is 27 and 63. Never scored more than 20 again. Injuries derailed him.
- Selänne’s Colorado season is also a massive outlier, but in a negative way
- Martin Straka, 95 p in 00-01
Troy Murray with 99 points. Played 14 seasons through the highest scoring era and failed to crack 40 points in half of them. Next highest season was 71 and then steep drops.
Although is was obscured by the fact it was a shortened season Zhamnov's 94-95 (65 points in 48 games) sticks out. Finished 3rd in the NHL in scoring. Never sniffed the top 10 again and career high was 72 points. His 30 goals in 94-95 are a career high even though it was in only 48 games.

2014-15 Andrew Hammond was pretty crazy, 20-1-2, 1.79 GAA, .941 sv%, and his 3 shutouts were all career highs he didn't come close to again. Earlier in the season he had been assigned to the Senators AHL affiliate in Binghamton and got called up when Craig Anderson tended to personal issues, and took the starter job when Robin Lehner was injured.
It wasn't a massive outlier though. He scored fewer goals, but more points as soon as next season, and then the Caps offense declined as a whole.Mike Green scored 31 goals one year as a defenseman, and his second career best is 19.

This one is all about the expansion teams. Somebody broke it down once, and Bucyk scored something like 3 times more points-per-game vs. the new teams. (Legit answer, though!)In his 16th season, Johnny Bucyk made a 50 point jump from his previous ever high 69 points to... 109 points, goals from 31 to... 51 goals. It was his only 1st all-star season.
The next season his points dropped by 33.
The following season he would rebound a little but still not over 40 goals and altogether 23 points shy of that single career year.
I would also put Adam Graves during the Rangers Cup season. He had a solid career, but his numbers really jumped that year.
He got the most Hart votes on the Presidents’ Trophy winning team. Imagine if Cheechoo got more Hart votes than Thornton in 06.
Any players with abnormally high penalty minutes in a season?
Yep.Zhamnov a Winnipeg Jet at this point Frisco? Off the top of my head I want to say yes.
I don't know if Theo Fleury fits the description for this or not. He hit triple digits regularly early in his career, including 8 of his first 9 full seasons going 100+ PIM or better. The season that he gets traded from Calgary to Colorado, his PIM drops from 197 to 86. He signs with the Rangers, and his PIM drops even further down to 68.Any players with abnormally high penalty minutes in a season?
