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.
  3. ↑ Dubas was initially named President of Hockey Operations and interim general manager on June 1, 2023, later being additionally promoted to permanent general manager on August 3, 2023.
