Lecavalier is expected to be a healthy scratch for Thursday's season-opener, reports Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia.

Lecavalier was as frustrated with the decision as owners who drafted him. His lone preseason goal doesn't seem to have impressed new coach Dave Hakstol, and it looks likely that he'll sit a healthy amount this season.
