As part of his opening day media address, Julien BriseBois was asked about the health of the team and his answer was a little longer than anyone was anticipating. While most of the injuries he mentioned will affect the Syracuse Crunch, there were a couple of names that were on the Lightning’s roster. The good news is that they shouldn’t be out for much of the regular season.
The first name mentioned was Mikey Eyssimont (lower-body injury) who will be out until mid-October per Mr. BriseBois. Fellow bottom-six forward Luke Glendening is expected to miss training camp, but is hopeful for the beginning of the season.
