Ted Lindsay, an NHL icon and former Blackhawk, died Monday at the age of 93.

Nicknamed "Terrible Ted" because of his tough and dirty style of play, Lindsay won four Stanley Cups, played in 11 straight All-Star Games and was a four-time 30-goal scorer in the NHL. He spent 14 of his 17 seasons in Detroit and three in Chicago, where he accumulated 129 points (44 goals, 79 assists) in 206 games.

Lindsay came out of a four-year retirement to play in his 17th and final season in 1964-65 with the Red Wings. He finished his career with 851 points (379 goals, 472 assists) in 1,068 games, and was named one of the 100 NHL's greatest players in 2017.
