Ever since the Tampa Bay Lightning came into creation in 1992, there have been many players to put on a Lightning jersey and take the ice with the team. A slightly smaller amount of those players have gone on to accomplish great things in the National Hockey League.
Today, one of those players who accomplished great things with the Tampa Bay Lightning has elected to call it a career. Former Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ruslan Fedotenko has announced his retirement from the National Hockey League.
Ruslan Fedotenko has played in the National Hockey League for a total of 12 seasons.
