The Lightning will be retiring the #26 on January 13, 2017.  This will the first time the franchise will retire a number.  It belongs to Martin St. Louis.

Here are a few highlights of his career.

• 6 all star appearances 
• Received two Art Ross Trophy's  
• Played on three teams.  The Flames, the Lightning and the Rangers
• 365 career goals and a total of 953 points
• Stanley Cup 2004

I could go on and on about all his accomplishments.   But the franchise retiring his number might be the biggest, well that or the Stanley Cup.
