The NHL added six new teams for the 1967-68 season. These teams were the Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers, California Golden Seals, Minnesota North Stars, Los Angeles Kings, and St. Louis Blues.
From what I remember the original six(Toronto,Chicago,Boston,Detroit,NewYork,Montreal) was in a period between 1942-1967
the original six teams are: Toronto, Detroit, Montreal, Boston, New York rangers, and the Chicago blackhawks
1967 Expansion teams: California Seals Los Angeles Kings Minnesota North Stars Philadelphia Flyers Pittsburgh Penguins St. Louis Blues
Montreal and Boston in the late 70's
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 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.
