The 1958 Stanley Cup Final was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1957–58 season, and the culmination of the 1958 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested between the two-time defending champion Montreal Canadiens and the Boston Bruins in a rematch of the 1957 Finals. The Canadiens, who were appearing in the Finals for the eighth consecutive year, defeated the Bruins in six games for their third straight Cup victory and tenth in the team's history. The Canadiens became the second team in NHL history to three-peat as Stanley Cup champions, joining their archrival Toronto Maple Leafs.

Paths to the Finals

Montreal defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4–0, and Boston defeated the New York Rangers 4–2, to reach the Finals.

Engraving notes

Every player whose name was engraved on the Stanley Cup in 1957 also appeared on the Cup in 1958, the only time this had occurred in NHL history for repeat champions. In addition, four players' names appeared on the Cup in 1958 that were not present in 1957: Charlie Hodge, Ab MacDonald, Marcel Bonin and Albert Langlois. The only other change was in the name of the owner, as Hartland Molson had taken over the Canadiens from William Northey and Donat Raymond. Thirteen names on the 1958 Cup are members of the Hockey Hall of Fame: players Jean Beliveau, Bernie Geoffrion, Doug Harvey, Tom Johnson, Dickie Moore, Bert Olmstead, Jacques Plante, Henri Richard and Maurice Richard, and non-players Hartland Molson, Ken Reardon, Frank Selke Sr. and Coach Hector 'Toe' Blake (inducted as a player).

  • In 1958, the NHL decided to change the look of the Stanley Cup again. The new-look Stanley Cup to last until 1992 for the Stanley Cup 100th anniversary. The Stanley Cup bowl renamed the same with 1903 to 1906 winning teams listed on the bowl, along with Paddy Moran, Fred Taylor and several installs. Inside the bowl are both 1907 Kenora Thistles, 1907 Wanderers, plus 20 members of the Wanderers. Also included are 9 members of 1915 Vancouver, BC and Harry Broadbent.
  • Underneath are 6 small rings or bands. They include teams' winning members' names from 1924 to 1927, and 1929. The winning team names only from 1893 to 1902, & 1909 to 1918, but missing 1908-10 Montreal Wanderers, 1911 Ottawa Senators & Toronto Arenas; that ring included 3 non-winners. 1915 NHA Champion Ottawa, 1916 PCHA Champion Portland, 1918 PCHA Champion Vancouver
  • A Shoulder sits between the smaller and larger rings. It includes all the Stanley Cup-winning team names from 1893 to 1992. This includes the seven teams that did not put their team name on it and the unfinished 1919 Stanley Cup Final. (1908 Montreal Wanderers, 1910 Montreal Wanderers, 1911 Ottawa Senators, 1918 Toronto Arenas, 1919 No Decision Montreal Canadiens Seattle Metropolitans, 1920 Ottawa Senators, 1921 Ottawa Senators, 1922 Toronto St. Pats, and 1923 Ottawa Senators.)
  • There were five larger rings under the shoulder to include 13 winning seasons per ring. Ring one: 1928 to 1940, ring two: 1941 to 1953, ring three: 1954 to 1958, with more teams to be added to ring three (the 1957 Montreal Canadiens team were finally added in 1958). Ring four and ring five were blank. The last ring was filled in 1992 for the Stanley Cup 100th anniversary. All the rings below the shoulder are now identical in size. The Cup remained the same height, 34 1/4 inches and 35 1/2 pounds.
  • 1928 Boston Bruins team members were engraved twice (members missing from both engravings) on a smaller band with 1927 Ottawa Senators and on the first of the large rings. 1915 Vancouver Millionaires team was listed three times. Once on the shoulder, once on one of the smaller bands (rings), and inside the cup with team name and nine winning members.
  • _The new larger rings were not engraved the same as the previous rings. Some names were added, others missing, many first names/positions were spelt differently, and most spelling mistakes were fixed; many spelling mistakes were made.
  • -Note the Stanley Cup has not changed size or shape since 1958. (See 1992 Stanley Cup Final for the next change in the Stanley Cup engraving plates.)
