Notes

• A running total of the number of coaches of the Panthers. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.
• Before the 2005–06 season, the NHL instituted a penalty shootout for regular season games that remained tied after a five-minute overtime period, which prevented ties.
• In hockey, the winning percentage is calculated by dividing points by maximum possible points.
• Each year is linked to an article about that particular NHL season.
• Includes the Qualifying Round of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs.
