Claude Lemieux
Claude Lemieux is a Canadian winger who won four Stanley Cups with three different franchises and the Conn Smythe Trophy in 1995. Lemieux scored 80 playoff goals, and his hit on Kris Draper in the 1996 Western Conference Final set off the Detroit–Colorado rivalry that defined the era. Lemieux died on 28 May 2026 at the age of 60.
