Quick Strikes: Ryan Callahan’s return might be near; Mathieu Joseph skates alone
Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty ImagesTweets from Tampa Bay Lightning arena reporter Caley Chelios indicate that Ryan Callahan is likely near returning to the lineup, but that Mathieu Joseph is still out an unknown length of time. In Callahan’s words, he feels great, and is “hopeful” for the game. And in Joseph’s words — well — no words at all, which probably means No Go for Jo.
Callahan said his back locked up out of nowhere before the Vancouver game. “It usually takes a day or two to settle down when something like that happens.” He said it’s never happened before, and he felt great skating today. “Today was encouraging to hopefully get in tomorrow.” https://t.co/6AnofNj5vJ
