Notes

1. A running total of the number of general managers of the Penguins. Thus anyone who has two separate terms as general manager is only counted once.
2. Per the 2004–05 NHL lockout no games result in a tie, instead teams receive one point for a loss in overtime. Craig Patrick served before and after the rule change, and his record is presented as W–L–T–OTL.
