Don Marshall, a former The All-Star, whose career spanned 20 years from 1952 to 1972 with four different franchises, has died at the age of 92. Marshall spent the majority of his NHL career between the two Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangerswhile he also plays for them Buffalo saber And Toronto Maple Leafs.
Marshall was an integral part of the 1950s Canadiens teams that won an NHL-record five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956 to 1960. Marshall did much of his work as part of the team's checking line alongside Phil Goyette and Claude Provost, and he played for the franchise from 1951 to 1963, scoring 254 points, including 114 goals and 140 assists.
“The Canadiens extend their deepest condolences to Donnie’s family, friends and loved ones,” the team said 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.”
After leaving the Canadiens following the 1962-63 season, Marshall spent the second half of his career with the New York Rangers, where he served as both an assistant captain and an assistant coach. As a member of the second team, Marshall reached the NHL All-Star Game in 1968 and played a total of seven seasons for the Blueshirts before ending his career with one season each for the Sabers and Maple Leafs.
Marshall retired from hockey at the end of the 1971-72 season and finished his career with 265 goals and 324 assists in 1,176 career games. He was also one of the last surviving members of the 1950s Canadiens dynasty, which has lost other members in recent years, including Dickie Moore, Jean Béliveau, Gilles Tremblay, Elmer Lach and Dollard St. Laurent.
