The Rangers mourned the loss of Donald “Donnie” Marshall on Thursday.
He was 92.
Marshall, who was the last surviving member of the Canadiens dynasty that captured five consecutive Stanley Cups from 1956-60, played in 1,176 total games with Montreal, the Rangers, Sabres and Maple Leafs over a 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 dependable and versatile players of his era, Don played seven seasons with the Blueshirts, serving as an alternate captain and assistant coach while playing for the team.
“We extend our condolences to Don’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.”
Playing in New York from 1963-70, Marshall collected 129 goals and 141 assists for 270 points in 479 games.
His best NHL season came in the form of a 54-point campaign with the Rangers in 1965-66 when he scored 26 goals and dished 28 assists in 69 contests.
The Montreal native spent a decade playing for his hometown team.
After making his NHL debut on Jan. 26, 1952, Marshall cemented himself as a full-time player with the Canadiens during the 1954-55 season.
Marshall posted 114 goals and 140 assists across 585 games with the Habs, primarily skating on a line with Phil Goyette and Claude Provost.
In 94 career playoff games — 15 of which came with the Rangers — Marshall recorded eight goals and 15 assists.
