The Carolina Hurricanes honored the late Claude Lemieux, a four-time Stanley Cup winner who passed away at age 60, before their NHL playoff game against the Montreal Canadiens on May 29. Lemieux, who won his first Cup with the Canadiens in 1986, had participated in a ceremonial event prior to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. His legacy includes winning three additional Cups and being named playoff MVP in 1995. The Hurricanes lead the series 3-1 and are poised to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006.
