The Tampa Bay Lightning is no stranger to injuries. In fact, the Boys in Blue have had seasons defined by their injuries in the past. As much as the team has “gotten used to” having players missing from their lineup, it doesn’t mean the team doesn’t feel the sting when a player goes down with an injury.
One of the latest players to feel said sting (no pun intended) was Lightning defenseman, Dan Girardi. On Jan. 7, the Tampa Bay Lightning was taking on their Atlantic Division rivals, the Detroit Red Wings.
