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 1956-60. 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.
