Tampa Bay Lightning center Tyler Johnson will miss the remainder of the preseason due to an upper body injury according to several reports. The team didn’t provide any more detail than that.
Head coach Jon Cooper expressed hope that Johnson would be ready to return the lineup by opening night.
#TBLightning Cooper says Tyler Johnson out for rest of exhibition season. Still hoping he’ll be ready for season opener, but not sure.
