The Tampa Bay Lightning has had a rocky start to the 2019-20 season thus far. Through the first 13 games of the season, the Lightning holds a 6-5-2 record, which places them barely around the .500 mark. Needless to say, this is not a good look for a team expected to go all the way this season.
Whether the Lightning’s less-than-stellar start to the season can be partially blamed on the injuries the team has been forced to deal with is a very subjective topic at the moment. The good news here is, the Lightning may very well be getting a little help in this department before they take the ice in their NHL Global Series matchup against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday.
