Don Marshall, who won five straight Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens as part of a 19-year NHL career, has died. He was 92.
Marshall was one of 12 players who skated on all five of Canadiens' championship teams from 1956 to 1960. He had been the last living player from that dynasty following Jean-Guy Talbot's death in February.
"The Canadiens extend their deepest condolences to Donnie's family, friends and loved ones," the team said Thursday in a statement. "Our thoughts are with them ... during this difficult time. He will always be remembered as one of the great champions in the history of the organization."
Marshall debuted in the 1951-52 season and spent his first 10 years with the Canadiens. A seven-time All-Star, he played the next seven seasons with the New York Rangers, where he made All-NHL second team in 1966-67, before one-year stints with the Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Known for his prowess on the penalty kill as a center and a forward, Marshall retired in 1972 after tallying 589 points (265 goals, 324 assists) over 1,176 regular-season games. He also notched 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists) in 94 playoff appearances.
The Canadiens' five straight Stanley Cup titles remain an NHL record.
