The San Jose Sharks and visiting Pittsburgh Penguins will honor the late Gordie Howe on Sunday, as the teams meet in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
Howe passed away Friday at the age of 88.
Since his passing, tributes have been coming in for the legend known as Mr. Hockey. On Sunday, players for both teams will wear a No. 9 decal on their helmets during the pre-game warm-up, in honor of Howe.
