Vincent Lecavalier has proven you can go home again.

The former Tampa Bay Lightning captain, who announced his retirement from the NHL this past offseason, was welcomed back by the club and its fans prior to Tuesday's game against the Florida Panthers.

Lecavalier played 1,037 regular season games for the Lightning before his contract was bought out in 2013.

He helped the team win its only Stanley Cup back in 2004. He remains the franchise's leading goal scorer with 383.
