Most goals scored in NHL playoff game

The record for the most goals in an NHL playoff game depends on whether you are looking at one team's performance or the total combined score.

The Edmonton Oilers hold the record for the most goals scored by a single team in a playoff game, putting up 13 goals against the Los Angeles Kings on April 9, 1987.

The record for the highest-scoring game in total was set during the 1982 Division Semifinals.

• 18 Goals: Los Angeles Kings (10) vs. Edmonton Oilers (8) on April 7, 1982.
• 17 Goals: Pittsburgh Penguins (10) vs. Philadelphia Flyers (7) on April 25, 1989.
• 16 Goals: Two games are tied at 16, involving high-scoring matchups from the Oilers (1987) and the Kings (1990).

On May 3, 2026, the Colorado Avalanche defeated the Minnesota Wild 9-6. Their 15 combined goals tied for the third-highest-scoring game in NHL playoff history, matching a feat last achieved by the Flames and Oilers in 2022.
