A handful of active franchises in the National Hockey League have never experienced the ultimate glory of capturing the Stanley Cup since their establishment or relocation into the league. This list includes long-standing organizations such as the Vancouver Canucks, Buffalo Sabres, and San Jose Sharks, alongside newer expansion clubs like the Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, and the Utah Hockey Club. Several of these franchises have endured heartbreaking series losses after reaching the championship round, while others continue methodical multi-year rebuilds to construct a roster capable of breaking their historic drought.
