As a member of the Original Six, along with 1942 being the most widely accepted as the year beginning the Original Six era, it was the Detroit Red Wings.

The "Original Six" refers to the teams that made up the NHL before the first major expansion in the 1960's. Actually, the term "Original Six" is somewhat misleading as it implies that the NHL was always made up of six teams prior to expansion in 1967. When the New York Americans folded at the end of the 1941/42 season, it left the league with six teams and it remained that way until expansion. Prior to 1942, the NHL had varying numbers of teams as members, not just the so-called "Original Six".

the Detroit red wings
The Bruins joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 1924.Very old. They are one of the Original Six teams of the NHL.
The NHL expanded from six teams to twelve teams in the 1967-68. All six of the 'original' teams have won a Cup. Of the six new teams, the Los Angeles Kings and St. Louis Blues have not won a Stanley Cup. As of the 2007-08 season, they would be the oldest teams not to have won a Cup.
Montreal and Boston in the late 70's
Well, the NHL originally started with 4 teams (although some would argue it really began with the 'Original Six'). Toronto Ottawa Montreal (Wanderers) Montreal (Canadiens) The first game played that season (which would tell you the first 2 teams....) was between Toronto and Montreal (Wanderers).
The Original Six is a term for the group of six teams that made up the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 25 seasons between the 1942-43 season and the 1967 NHL Expansion. These six teams are the Boston Bruins, Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
