PITTSBURGH -- Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman returned to the lineup Monday night for the first time since breaking his left leg on March 25.
Stralman, 29, was paired with Matt Carle to start the game but rejoined his customary partner, Victor Hedman, later as he made his return for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Stralman was able to quickly make a difference, scoring the team's first goal of the game late in the first period.
