The Canadiens retired Guy Lapointe's No. 5, raising it to the Bell Centre rafters alongside those of fellow defensive standouts Larry Robinson and Serge Savard, prior to the a win over the Wild, according to an ESPN.com report.

The Big Three starred for the Canadiens during the 1970s, and the trio was reunited before Saturday night's game. The 66-year-old Lapointe was in tears with his family and his defense teammates at his side.
