Tampa Bay Lightning All-Star center Vincent Lecavalier has signed with Electronic Arts to be the cover athlete and spokesman for its EA SPORTS branded NHL 06 game. The highly skilled assistant captain of the Lightning is the perfect choice for the 14th season of EA's NHL franchise as shooting and scoring have never been so much fun.

With NHL 06 players can score like a superstar, express themselves through their shooting style with the new EA SPORTS Skill Stick and light the lamp with highlight reel moves such as spinoramas, toe drags, bat-ins, and between-the-legs shots.

Classic deke control adds to the arsenal of moves allowing maneuvers around defensemen before snapping off dangerous shots that can ripple the twine and knock the water bottle off the net.
