5 teams in NHL history have had 4 40 goal scorers. The Oilers four times (82 through 86) and the 87-88 Flames (these are also 5 of the 7 highest scoring teams of all time- the others being the 81-82 Oilers (only 2 40 goals scorers but Gretzky had 92 on his own and Anderson had 38) and 70-71 Bruins (3 40 goal scorers including Espo with 76, and then a defenceman named Orr with 37))
currently 18 more teams have had 3 40 goal scorers- as pointed out the most recent was the 18-19 Lightning and the only others in the last 28 years are the 95-96 pens and the 93-94 Flames (and Nieuwendyk had 36 that year- so if Gaudreau hits 40 that team will be quite a bit like this one: Roberts 41, Fleury 40, Reichel 40, Nieuwy 36; MacInnis also blasted 28 from the blueline though)
