The Tampa Bay Lightning is on the verge of winning an award absolutely no one here in the Bolts Nation wants to sit on their mantle. The Lightning is on the precipice of reaching a new high when it comes to losing players to a variety of injuries in a single season.
As most Lightning fans know by now, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is sidelined until at least mid-March after having undergone successful surgery to repair a lateral tear in his right meniscus. In addition to the captain, alternate captain Ryan Callahan has been out since November 29th.
