The Tampa Bay Lightning dealt with far more than their fair share of injuries last season. If some of you remember that far back, there was a point in time where the Lightning had no fewer than nine players on the injured list at the same time.
While this definitely made things a lot more difficult for Tampa Bay Lightning Head Coach Jon Cooper, it opened the door for some of the Lightning’s younger talent, who spend a majority of their time playing for the Lightning’s American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, a time to shine.
