Presidents' Trophy & Best Regular-Season Record seasons

Workbook flags every season where this franchise had the league's top regular-season record. The formal Presidents' Trophy was introduced for the 1985-86 season; pre-1986 rows are best-record honors across the pre-trophy era.

Season-by-season

Reverse chronological. Ties column visible through the 2004-05 lockout; OTL absorbs shootout losses post-2005 (workbook convention; the public NHL site keeps them separate).
