Notes

  • <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>a A running total of the number of coaches of the Canucks. Thus any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.
  • <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>b 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.[27]
  • <templatestyles src="Citation/styles.css"/>c Mike Sullivan acted as interim head coach of the Canucks for six games during their 2013–14 season, while Tortorella was serving a suspension.
