Victor Hedman misses game with lower-body injury

If you’re of the giving nature and wondering what to get Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper for the holidays, a healthy but cheap defenseman with NHL experience is likely at the top of his current wish list. With Erik Cernak already missing time due to an injury, the Lightning were dealt a double blow in their win against the Calgary Flames on Thursday as Victor Hedman was scratched prior to the game with an unknown lower-body injury. Then, J.J. Moser left the game early with an injury of his own, leaving the Lightning to finish the game with just five healthy blueliners.
