On Thursday, prior to their game against the St. Louis Blues, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that defenseman J.J. Moser will miss the next 8-10 weeks with a lower-body injury. They did not divulge what the injury was.
Moser suffered the injury against Calgary and proceeded to miss the next two games with head coach Jon Cooper stating he would be out “week-to-week” when asked earlier this week. The Swiss-born defenseman has appeared in 27 games with the Lightning this season, posting two goals and eight assists while averaging 19:54 of ice time. In his first season with the Bolts, Moser quickly developed a chemistry with Victor Hedman with the duo comprising the top pairing for the Bolts.
