Lecavalier was struck in the foot on Feb. 2 by a slap shot. "It's been tough for him," Boucher said. "It affects his push-off, it affects his timing. Eventually, it's his confidence. He was just trying to survive out there." It's probably not a coincidence that his production has declined recently since the incident. He has two goals and nine points in his last 15 games, but three points in his last two contests.
