6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat (lower body) will remain out for Tuesday's home game against the New Jersey Devils. The Czech winger got injured last Friday against Vegas and ended up missing Saturday's matchup vs. Arizona. Head coach Jon Cooper is hopeful that Palat can return on Thursday against the Nashville Predators. Skating on the second line, Palat has picked up five assists through nine games with 10 shots and a plus-three rating. Adam Erne has made his way into the lineup with him out, although the main beneficiary of Palat's injury looks to be J.T. Miller, who's swapped a bottom-six role for a spot on the top line.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
