The Northeastern Division of the National Hockey League was formed in 1993 as a result of the redistribution of the league as part of the Eastern Conference . His predecessor was the Adams Division . It existed for 19 seasons (not counting the lockout in the 2004/2005 season ) before the redistribution of the league in 2013.
Although none of the members of the division won the Stanley Cup after redistributing until the Boston Bruins won in 2011, all together they won the Stanley Cup 43 times (24 - Montreal , 13 - Toronto and 6 - Boston), which was a record among the divisions of the NHL until 2013. In 2012, the Boston Bruins became the first team to win the division two times in a row.
