==Notes==
* A running total of the number of coaches of the Blues. Thus, any coach who has two or more separate terms as head coach is only counted once.
* 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.
* Each year is linked to an article about that particular NHL season.
