Regular season

Bobby Clarke wore the number 16 throughout his entire NHL career except for two games during the 1980–81 season.[2] Prior to a road game on February 27, 1981,[3] Clarke's jersey was stolen.[2] Clarke wore the only other jersey available, number 36,[2] in the next two games.[3][4] A month later, Clarke hit a personal milestone in memorable fashion. On March 19 during a game against the Boston Bruins, a Reggie Leach slapshot struck Clarke.[5] After leaving the ice, he re-appeared moments later stitched up and with his jersey covered in blood.[5] 31 seconds into the third period Clarke beat Bruins goalie Marco Baron for his 19th goal of the season[6] and his 1,000th career point.[5]

Among the team records set during the 1980–81 season was Bobby Clarke tying the team record for goals in a single period (3) on December 13.[14] The team's 2,621 penalty minutes during the regular season is a franchise record.[15] During their preliminary round series against the Quebec Nordiques, the two shorthanded goals scored during game two tied a team record.[16] Seven seconds into game four Terry Murray scored the fastest goal from the start of a playoff game in team history.[17]

A number of team records were set or tied during game four of their quarterfinal series against the Calgary Flames, most notably setting a team record for most goals during a playoff game (9).[18] Their five goals during the first period (5) is also tied for the team record.[19] Ken Linseman tied team records for most assists in a playoff game (4) and period (3).[20][21] Their 9–4 victory in the game ended a team record seven game playoff road losing streak dating back to May 17, 1980.[22]
