The 1978–79 NHL season was the 62nd season of the National Hockey League. The Montreal Canadiens beat the New York Rangers in the Stanley Cup finals four games to one for their fourth Cup in a row. This was the last time that two of the "Original Six" teams met in the Finals until 2013. With the Boston Bruins joining the Canadiens and Rangers in the semifinals, this was the last time that three of the final four teams were Original six teams until 2014.
