The Tampa Bay Lightning have been dealt more than their fair share of injuries this season, but it has become increasingly frustrating when the aforementioned injuries have come at the hands of one of the Lightning’s opponents. Unfortunately, the Tampa Bay Lightning were almost forced to deal with this very situation tonight at the Consol Energy Center during Game 5 of the 2016 Eastern Conference Final.
The Lightning were playing the puck in the neutral zone. Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Jonathan Drouin was in an intense battle with Pittsburgh Penguins center Matt Cullen.
