Montreal Canadiens great Jean Beliveau is recovering at home after suffering from pneumonia, his wife told The Montreal Gazette.

Elise Beliveau told Gazette writer Dave Stubbs on Sunday she was surprised when a friend told her that an internet report last week said her husband was 'very ill' and in critical condition.

"I just thought: 'What the heck is that?'" she told The Gazette. "Jean has been sick. He's had pneumonia, he's recuperating from it, he has his good days and his bad days and that's it."

Beliveau, who turned 83 on Aug. 31, has been a celebrated member of the Canadiens for more than six decades, winning 10 Stanley Cups in parts of 20 seasons as a player and seven more as an executive and team ambassador.

He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972 and made a companion of the Order of Canada in 1998.
