| Anton Stralman |
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Anton Stralman will be out indefinitely after sustaining a non-displaced fracture of his left fibula in a game against the New York Islanders on Friday.
Stralman got part of his skate caught in the ice in front of the Lightning net as he was defending Anders Lee in the first period of the game.
Lightning coach Jon Cooper said thatb Stralman could return during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which begin April 13.
"Obviously it's a little different getting hurt Oct. 25 than it is March 25," Cooper said. "It hurts the team, but we can't lose focus on what we need to continue to do to put ourselves in a playoff spot."
