Belhumeur played two seasons with the Capitals, and did not win a single game (zero wins, 29 losses, and 4 ties). He played three more years in the minors before retiring in 1979. Belhumeur has the distinction of most games played in one season (35 games in the 1974–75 NHL season with the Capitals) without a win. In 35 games, he won zero games, lost 24, and tied 3.
