The injury bug is hard at work again trying to take one final player from the Tampa Bay Lightning before the ball drops and 2016 becomes a thing of the past. The bad news is, Lightning fans won’t get much clarity on the issue until the team hits the ice later tonight for their pregame skate.
According to Tampa Bay Lightning Beat Writer Bryan Burns, Lightning Head Coach Jon Cooper said forward Tyler Johnson was not feeling well this morning. As you can imagine, he was sent home from morning practice in order to prevent whatever it is that’s ailing Johnson from spreading to someone else on the team by minimalizing contact.
