INJURIES - INJURIES - INJURIES

St-Pete's Gazette



"""  Despite all the injuries from the last couple of days, the Tampa Bay Lightning didn't give up yet.  """



    It's all started with a right hand injuries for Hudler and a lacerated calf injury for Killorn, both hurt by Ovechkin during a costly win for the Bolts versus the Capitals.  It followed with Pavelski' injury two days after with a right arm injury in another coslty win over the Rangers  


All of them surving a Center position for the team, GM St-Pierre spent all day and all night figuring out options with still in mind to get his team back on track.

St-Pierre found three ways to improve for the games to come.

1st - Brett Burns plays defenceman and also will play right winger
2nd - Dustin Byfluglien, as of yesterday, now plays defenceman and right winger.
3rd - A costly trade giving up prospect Leipsic for centerman Matt Stajan.


So after the few changes, management and coaches are looking to have every players giving their
200% each shift spent on the ice.

So here are the tentative 3 lines for the next 10 games.

Statsny - Setogucchi - Burns
Stajan - Ward - Byfuglien
Vey - Stalberg - McGinn

Spare: Palushaj - Johnsson - Glendening - Gibbons



If the Bolts can at least win a few points here and there so they don't get behind too much, teams better watch
the Tampa Bay closely after everyone is back in action.

Here are the line up at full capacity for the Bolts

Statsny - Pavelski - McGinn
Stajan - Setogucchi - Hudler
Killorn - Ward - Stalberg

Spare: Vey - Burns - Byfuglien
