Lightning Round: Tampa Bay’s injured players are on the ice at practice
The Tampa Bay Lightning returned to practice on Tuesday and there was the welcome site of Tanner Jeannot and Erik Cernak taking regular shifts. Jeannot has been out since February 13 and Cernak left the team’s last game with an apparent lower-body injury. After the team had two days off, it was nice to see both of them on the ice.
It is also interesting to note that the team has been experimenting with flipping Nick Perbix to the left side of the ice after he’s spent most of his career on the right side.
