What is Northeast Division (NHL)?
The [[National Hockey League|NHL]]'s '''Northeast Division''' was formed in 1993 as part of the Eastern Conference in a league adjustment, the predecessor of which was the [[Adams Division]]. Although none of its members have won the [[Stanley Cup]] since the adjustment, its members account for a combined 42 Stanley Cup championships (24 by Montreal, 13 by Toronto, and 5 by Boston), which is the most championships of any division in the NHL. ==Division lineups== ===1993–1995=== *[[Boston Bruins]] *[[Buffalo Sabres]] *[[Hartford Whalers]] *[[Montreal Canadiens]] *[[Ottawa Senators]] *[[Pittsburgh Penguins]] *[[Quebec Nordiques]] ==== Changes from the 1992–93 season==== *The Northeast Division is formed as a result of NHL realignment *The Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Hartford Whalers, Montreal Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, and Quebec Nordiques come from the [[Adams Division]] *The Pittsburgh Penguins come from the [[Patrick Division]] ===1995–1997=== *Boston Bruins *Buffalo Sabres *Hartford Whalers *Montreal Canadiens *Ottawa Senators *Pittsburgh Penguins ====Changes from the 1994–95 season==== *The Quebec Nordiques relocate to Denver, Colorado, and become the [[Colorado Avalanche]] *The Colorado Avalanche move to the [[Pacific Division (NHL)|Pacific Division]] ===1997–1998=== *Boston Bruins *Buffalo Sabres *[[Carolina Hurricanes]] *Montreal Canadiens *Ottawa Senators *Pittsburgh Penguins ====Changes from the 1996–97 season==== *The Hartford Whalers relocate to [[Greensboro, North Carolina]], and become the Carolina Hurricanes ===1998–2013=== *Boston Bruins *Buffalo Sabres *Montreal Canadiens *Ottawa Senators *[[Toronto Maple Leafs]] ====Changes from the 1997–98 season==== *The Carolina Hurricanes move to the [[Southeast Division (NHL)|Southeast Division]] *The Pittsburgh Penguins move to the [[Atlantic Division (NHL)|Atlantic Division]] *The Toronto Maple Leafs come from the [[Central Division (NHL)|Central Division]] ===2013 realignment=== The Northeast Division was dissolved as the league realigned int
