André Pronovost, a left winger who won the Stanley Cup four times with the Montreal Canadiens, died Tuesday. He was 90.
The Canadiens organization announced Pronovost's death in a news release. A four-time NHL All-Star, Pronovost played 10 seasons in the league, with his first four-plus years in Montreal. The Canadiens won four consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1957 to 1960 during his tenure.
Pronovost recorded 109 points in 290 regular-season games with Montreal and added 22 points in 70 playoff contests. The team won a fifth straight NHL title in the 1960-61 season, though Pronovost had been traded to the Boston Bruins mid-season.
He played three seasons with the Bruins before a trade to the Detroit Red Wings during the 1962-63 campaign. After three seasons in Detroit, Pronovost concluded his NHL career in 1967-68, having been selected by the Minnesota North Stars in the league's expansion draft.
Pronovost, also the grandfather of New Jersey Devils forward Anthony Mantha, finished his NHL career with 198 points in 557 regular-season games. He also recorded 11 goals and 66 points in postseason play.
