Lightning captain Vinny Lecavalier, who grew up in suburban Montreal idolizing the Canadiens, was relieved to learn Jean Beliveau – who scored 507 goals and won 10 Stanley Cups – had been released from a Montreal hospital Monday after being admitted due to a drop in blood pressure.

Lecavalier portrayed Beliveau in the 2005 motion picture “The Rocket,” about Canadiens great Maurice Richard.
“I have a picture with (Beliveau) when I was probably six or seven years old I still have,” Lecavalier said. “I’m not sure which arena we’re at, but we’re on the bench with and he’s kind of putting his arm around me. He’s a class act and a great guy and every time I see him – I don’t see him that often, but when I do – I love to talk to him.”
