Don Marshall, an iconic NHL player known for his role in the Montreal Canadiens' five straight Stanley Cup wins from 1956 to 1960, has died at the age of 92.
Marshall, one of just 12 players to have played for each of those championship teams, is a significant figure in the Canadiens' celebrated legacy. With his passing, he was the last surviving member of that powerful group, after Jean-Guy Talbot passed away earlier this year.
Marshall began his NHL career with the Canadiens in 1951 and spent ten years with them before joining the New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, and Toronto Maple Leafs. He was a skilled center and forward, particularly noted for his effectiveness in penalty-killing situations, and retired in 1972 with an impressive 589 points in regular-season games.
The Canadiens released a statement offering their heartfelt sympathy to Marshall's family and friends, praising him as one of the top champions in the team's history. His impressive accomplishments and contributions to hockey will be long remembered.
