Which former team Captain holds the NHL record for most points in a season, (29), without scoring a goal?

2nd guess: Lee Fogolin
Nope.

Fogolin had 9, 18 and 23 assists in his three scoreless NHL seasons. His father, Lee Sr., had four goal-less NHL seasons, but never captained a team.

Which Art Ross Trophy winner also led the NHL in penalty minutes in one of his seasons?

Stan Mikita
Nope.

Mikita won 'The Ross ' 4 times in the 60's, and he had a career-high 154 PIMs when he won it in '64-'65, but every team except the New York Rangers had somebody with more box time that season than Stan. Teammate Pierre Pilote had 8 minutes more than Mikita, in 2 fewer games. Remember, this was the 60's, when there were still French players who got involved in fights.

During Major League Baseball's expansion era, (post 1960), three players have had both a season with 40 or more home runs AND at least one career pitching win. Shohei Ohtani is one of them, (duh).

Name either or both of the other two.

1994-95 New Jersey Devils & Albany River Rats
1975-76 and 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens & Nova Scotia Voyageurs. As much as it pains me to say it that 1976-77 Habs team is the best of all time.

Correct!!!!
I recall that back in the day many people said the Voyageurs would have been a very competitive NHL team.
