TAMPA — Danick Martel didn't have much of an opportunity to ease his way into his time with the Lightning.
On Sunday, 10,164 Lightning fans flocked to Amalie Arena to watch Martel's debut practice, also known as Fan Fest.
As if there was not already enough pressure on him having joined the Lightning the previous night.
"Yeah, but I think it was the perfect time for me to come in because I had some fun," Martel said. "Instead of being stressed or trying to be the best I can for the d-zone or the PK like we did today.
