List of NHL Teams to Win Back-to-Back Stanley Cups

It's no easy feat to win a Stanley Cup. It's even harder for a team to win back-to-back titles.

The 2024 champions, the Florida Panthers, are back in the Finals for a second straight year. If they manage to hoist the Cup again, they’ll join an exclusive group of teams who have consecutive Stanley Cup wins.

Only eight franchises in NHL history have pulled this off -- and just three have done so in the last 30 years.

Below is a full list of every franchise to win consecutive Stanley Cups since 1927 -- the year the trophy officially became the NHL’s championship prize -- including the few dynasties that have won three or more in a row.
