When Marty St. Louis became the first Lightning player to have his jersey retired back in January, it was hard not to think that former captain Vinny Lecavalier would be the next one.
The two good friends, and former linemates were both faces of the franchise, key cogs on the 2004 Stanley Cup run.
And soon, their jerseys will be hung side-by-side in the Amalie Arena rafters.
The Lightning announced Monday that Lecavalier's No. 4 will be retired on Feb. 10, when the Los Angeles Kings are in town. Lecavalier, the No. 1 overall pick in 1998, spent 14 seasons with the Lightning, scoring 383 of his 321 career goals.
