EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) Vincent Lecavalier says he still plans to retire this summer, ending a 17-year NHL career after one last revitalizing season with the Los Angeles Kings.
Lecavalier confirmed his long-stated plans Sunday as the Kings left their training complex. Their season ended with a five-game loss to the San Jose Sharks in the first round of the postseason.
Lecavalier scored 949 points and won the Stanley Cup during a career that began with the Tampa Bay Lightning, who made him the No. 1 pick in the 1998 draft. He helped the Lightning to the 2004 title, and he won the Richard Trophy in 2007 as the NHL’s top goal-scorer.
He signed with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2013, but struggled mightily with his new team. The Kings acquired him in January.
