Former Ranger Donald Marshall has died at the age of 92

The Rangers mourned the passing of Donald “Donnie” Marshall on Thursday.

He was 92.

Marshall, who was the last surviving member of the Canadiens dynasty that won five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956 to 1960, played a total of 1,176 games for Montreal, the Rangers, Sabers and Maple Leafs in his 19-year NHL career.

“The Rangers are saddened to learn of the passing of Don Marshall,” the team said in a statement. “One of the most reliable and versatile players of his era, Don played seven seasons with the Blueshirts and served as an assistant captain and assistant coach during his time with the team.
