The Oilers set new marks in this season for both success and failure. Edmonton recorded its 1000th regular season win in the NHL on January 2, 2007, while late in the season, the Oilers lost 12 consecutive games, a mark that surpassed Edmonton's record of 11, however the NHL does not now consider an overtime loss a true loss, thus does not officially break the franchise record for losses.
