The Tampa Bay Lightning will retire former captain Vinny Lecavalier’s jersey number 4 on Saturday night in a ceremony taking place prior to the Lightning’s game against the visiting Los Angeles Kings.
Leading up to the big night, Lecavalier stopped by Amalie Arena Thursday morning to speak with members of the Tampa Bay media.
Lecavalier mentioned that the gesture means a lot to him, that it’s particularly meaningful that he’ll be joining long-time teammate and friend Marty St. Louis as only the second Lightning player to receive this honor. “It’s going to be a lot of fun, that’s for sure”, he said.
