News broke today that forward Ondej Palat has returned to Tampa Bay for further medical testing after an unidentified injury during last night’s game against the Minnesota Wild. Palat did not play for the last part of the third period, with speculation rampant that it was due to a spear during the five-on-three powerplay in the third.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have already been struggling and losing a top six forward like Palat is not what the team needs.
