We are within days of the end of Ondrej Palat’s rehabilitation. It’s great timing too, the Tampa Bay Lightning are floundering defensively at even-strength and on the PK. [NHL dot com]
For the first time since suffering a lower-body injury January 20 at Minnesota, Tampa Bay forward Ondrej Palat skated a full practice session in a regular jersey on Wednesday, shedding the red no-contact jersey that had become a staple of his on-ice attire as he continues to rehab. Palat was scheduled to miss six to eight weeks of action.
