After losing three key centers to injury Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild, the Tampa Bay Lightning will try to move forward with what they have. This morning the team recalled forward Matthew Peca from the Syracuse Crunch for some help at the position.
Peca is a center and will fill a much-needed role for the Lightning at the moment. Centers Vladislav Namestnikov, Tyler Johnson and Cedric Paquette each went down with an injury (in that order) against the Wild, and all of them are considered day-to-day with lower-body injuries.
