List of all-time NHL standings

The following is a list of the all-time records for each of the 31 active National Hockey League (NHL) teams, beginning with the first NHL season (1917–18) and accurate as of the end of the 2019–20 NHL season.[1] Teams are sorted by the overall percentage of points accumulated out of points available (two times the number of games played) throughout NHL history.

In the NHL's points system, a team is awarded 2 points for a win (regardless if earned in regulation, overtime or shootout), 1 point for a tie, 1 point for an overtime loss, and 0 points for a loss.[2] The overtime loss statistic (abbreviated as OT or OTL) was introduced into the NHL's points system in the 1999–2000 season. A commonly used term for the point awarded to a team for an overtime loss is a loser point. As a result of the 2004–05 NHL lockout, which canceled the entire 2004–05 season, the league adopted a shootout to determine the winner of a game which is still tied after an overtime period.[3] This feature, introduced in the 2005–06 season, eliminated ties from the game.[4]
