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, and the fact that there were so few teams then, 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, Chicago Blackhawks: 6 wins
5. Pittsburgh Penguins, Edmonton Oilers: 5 wins

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

• Philadelphia Flyers (1974)

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

• Tampa Bay Lightning (2004)

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)

Longest time between most recent win and the present:

1. Toronto Maple Leafs: 56 years (1967)
2. Philadelphia Flyers: 48 years (1975)
3. New York Islanders: 40 years (1983)
4. Calgary Flames: 34 years (1989)
5. Edmonton Oilers: 33 years (1990)

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

• Arizona Coyotes (1979^a)
• Buffalo Sabres (1970)
• San Jose Sharks (1991)
• Columbus Blue Jackets (2000)
• Florida Panthers (1993)
• Minnesota Wild (2000)
• Nashville Predators (1998)
• Ottawa Senators (1992^b)
• Seattle Kraken (2021)
• Vancouver Canucks (1970)
• Winnipeg Jets (1999^c)

a) The Arizona Coyotes played as the Winnipeg Jets from 1979 until 1996, when they moved to Phoenix and became the Phoenix Coyotes; in 2014, the team's name was changed to the Arizona Coyotes.

b) 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.

c) 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 changing their name to the Phoenix Coyotes and later the Arizona Coyotes.
