Fun Stanley Cup facts!

There are three eras that cover the NHL since its beginning: the Original Six era (1927-1966); the first expansion era (1967-1990); and the second expansion era (1991-present). Given the longevity of the Original Six era, it should come as no surprise that the most successful teams overall began in that era.

Most successful teams:

  1. Montreal Canadiens: 22 wins
  2. Detroit Red Wings: 11 wins
  3. Toronto Maple Leafs: 10 wins
  4. Boston Bruins: 6 wins
  5. Edmonton Oilers: 5 wins

First "first expansion" era (1967-1990) team to win:

First "second expansion" era (1991-present) team to win:

Longest time between wins:

  1. New York Rangers: 54 years (1940-1994)
  2. Chicago Blackhawks: 49 years (1961-2010)
  3. Detroit Red Wings: 42 years (1955-1997)
  4. Boston Bruins: 39 years (1972-2011)
  5. Boston Bruins: 31 years (1941-1972)
  6. Pittsburgh Penguins: 17 years (1992-2009)

Longest time between most recent win and the present:

  1. Toronto Maple Leafs: 46 years (1967)
  2. Philadelphia Flyers: 38 years (1975)
  3. New York Islanders: 30 years (1983)
  4. Calgary Flames: 24 years (1989)
  5. Edmonton Oilers: 23 years (1990)

Non-defunct teams that have yet to win the Stanley Cup (year of first NHL season in parentheses):

* The Ottawa Senators team of the early 20th century is distinct from the modern team of the same name; the 1927 Cup win belongs to the earlier incarnation.

** The Phoenix Coyotes played as the Winnipeg Jets from 1979 until 1996, when they moved to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.

*** The second incarnation of the Winnipeg Jets began play in 1999 as the Atlanta Thrashers before moving to Winnipeg in 2011. This version is distinct from the version which played from 1979-1996 before becoming the Phoenix Coyotes. Mildly confusing, eh?
