These are lists of active and all-time National Hockey League (NHL) franchise post-season appearance, post-season series win, Stanley Cup Finals and Stanley Cup streaks up to and including the 2022–23 NHL season and subsequent 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs. These lists do not include the canceled 2004–05 NHL season.
