They won their 21st consecutive game of the season in a 3-1 victory over the Dallas Stars that day, then won a 23rd consecutive home game on Feb. 19, 2012 to break the Boston Bruins’ consecutive home game wins record that spanned two seasons in 1929-30. The Red Wings went on to extend their impressive playoff streak record that season to 21 consecutive. The Nashville Predators, however, defeated the Red Wings in the opening round in five games.

But Sid Abel, Lindsay’s old linemate, took over as Red Wings coach in 1964. He rejoined the Red Wings as No. Lindsay had 14 goals and 14 assists that year, and Campbell apologized after the Red Wings won the season championship. We are comforted in knowing that the Ted Lindsay legacy will forever be a part of history and are so proud of the many lives he helped change for the better through his tireless humanitarian work.
