ESPN NHL reports that RALEIGH -- While the Carolina Hurricanes celebrated their Eastern Conference championship win over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night, goaltender Frederik Andersen's heart was heavy.

Lemieux, 60, died by suicide on Thursday, according to authorities.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said that deputies responded just after 3 a.m.
to the scene of an apparent suicide at a furniture store showroom in Lake Park, Florida.
The sheriff's office said the victim was found in a rear warehouse by one of his sons.
