Sources & coverage

Season links open the original NHL year and team. The canceled 2004–05 season is omitted. Earlier WHA and NHA seasons are outside this NHL record series. PTS% is points divided by twice games played; pre-1999–2000 overtime losses remain within L, and OTL includes shootout losses from 2005–06. Historical names and official franchise assignments are retained. Postseason ties are shown separately; 2020 round-robin OT/SO losses are also shown separately. Early Stanley Cup games against other leagues remain postseason records rather than NHL regular-season games. No Stanley Cup was awarded in 1919. An em dash means a field or postseason record is unavailable in this table.
