Game Day – Sens vs. Panthers – Apr 9, 2024

Pre-GAME

Worst NHL Loss Ever

The worst loss in NHL history belongs to the New York Rangers when they lost 15-0 to the Detroit Red Wings on January 23, 1944. This loss was so outstanding that the record has stood for 76 years, despite tens of thousands of NHL games having been played since.

To make matters worse, most of the 15 goals were scored in the second half of the game, during which the Red Wings averaged nearly one goal every two minutes. After the Red Wings were finished pommeling the Rangers, New York didn’t win another game for the rest of the season.

This seems fitting to discuss after the Senators last two games against the Florida Panthers they have outscored the Senators 11-0.
