TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier is back after missing 15 games due to a right hand injury.

Lecavalier was in the lineup for Wednesday night's game against Atlanta. He resumed practicing with the team Tuesday.

Lecavalier was injured during a game at Washington on Nov. 11.
