Longest NHL Title Streaks

Seasons finished top of the league in the same category, back to back, with no year missed. A run of 3 or more.

Wayne Gretzky led the NHL in assists for 13 consecutive seasons, 1979 to 1991, the longest run in NHL history.

A title is a season finished first in a category, not an award, and a run ends the moment somebody else finishes first — a missed season through injury breaks it just as a rival's year does.
