For the second-consecutive contest, the Tampa Bay Lightning have lost a defenseman to injury mid-game.
On Tuesday, it was Jan Rutta, who suffered a lower-body injury versus Vegas and is week-to-week.
Thursday against the Metropolitan Division's Pittsburgh Penguins, Ryan McDonagh sustained a lower-body injury blocking a shot on an early second-period penalty kill and was forced to sit for the remainder of the game.
