The Tampa Bay Lightning are about to have a difficult decision in front of them, one that became just a little more complicated after the news that is making its way around the Bolts Nation as of late.
Tampa Bay Lightning Vice President and General Manager Steve Yzerman announced yesterday afternoon that the organization has elected to release Free Agent goaltender Ray Emery from his Professional Tryout with the Tampa Bay Lightning. This is rather interesting information given the situation the Lightning currently find themselves in.
As most of you are unfortunately aware by now, Tampa Bay Lightning backup goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy has been forced to the sidelines for at least 2-3 months while his body recovers from successful vascular surgery to remove a blood clot found near the twenty one year old Russian netminder’s collarbone.
