Claude Lemieux, the feisty four-time Stanley Cup champion for Avalanche, Devils and Habs, dies at 60

The NHL Alumni Association announced Lemieux’s death in a post on social media.

A cause of death was not immediately available, nor was it clear where Lemieux was when he died.

Only a few days before Monday's Game 3 of the NHL's Eastern Conference finals between the Canadiens and the Hurricanes, he carried the torch in Montreal's Bell Centre.

Lemieux was regarded as one of the greatest pests in NHL history, but also had an uncanny ability to come up clutch in big moments.
