The Edmonton Oilers retired Hall of Fame defenseman Kevin Lowe's No. 4 jersey prior to Friday's clash against the New York Rangers.

A six-time Stanley Cup champion and a major component of the Oilers' dynasty era, Lowe recorded 431 points over 1,254 career NHL games.

Lowe spent his first 13 seasons in Edmonton and won his first five Stanley Cup championships as an Oiler. He notoriously played through a broken wrist and broken ribs en route to Edmonton's Cup victory in 1988.

Lowe also played for the Rangers for four seasons and won his sixth Stanley Cup in the Big Apple. He returned to the Oilers for a second stint in 1996 and played one full campaign before retiring in 1998.

During the festivities, the Oilers also shared a tribute video for their first-ever draft pick.

After hanging up his skates, Lowe stuck around with Edmonton and has since served as an assistant coach, head coach, general manager, and president of hockey operations. He's currently the team's alternate governor.

The 62-year-old was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Class of 2020. However, the ceremony was postponed until Nov. 15 of this year due to the pandemic.

Lowe is the eighth Oiler in franchise history to have his number retired.
