Which NHL team won five consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1956 through 1960?

The Montreal Canadiens won five consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1956 through 1960.

Montreal began the run by defeating the Detroit Red Wings in the 1956 Final. The Canadiens then defeated Boston in 1957, Boston again in 1958, Toronto in 1959, and Toronto again in 1960. The five championships remain the longest consecutive Stanley Cup streak by one NHL team.

The dynasty featured stars including Jean Béliveau, Maurice Richard, Doug Harvey, and goaltender Jacques Plante. The achievement is distinct from Montreal’s total number of championships: this question concerns consecutive titles, not the franchise’s overall Cup count. The Canadiens also won four straight Cups from 1976 through 1979.
