Cooper on the injuries: “We're a little bit of a Mash unit right now. Even guys that practiced today, some of those guys aren't going to be in either. So we'll have to wake up tomorrow and see where we're at.” #GoBolts 
Hagel, Holmberg, McDonagh and James were all absent today

As #GoBolts  get practice underway, absent are Brandon Hagel, Dominic James, Ryan McDonagh and Pontus Holmberg. Nick Paul, Anthony Cirelli and Victor Hedman are all practicing. Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin also practicing. #TBLightning at Florida tomorrow

Nearly 35-percent of #GoBolts salary cap was missing from Wednesday's lineup, yet #TBLightning managed to fight and battle, received scoring from unexpected places but uncharacteristic plays from key players and "bad bounces" too much to overcome

Despite absence of seven regulars, Lightning fought through "unfortunate bounces" before falling short against NYR - LightningInsider.com
The Lightning were missing six regulars, lost a seventh and didn't have the breaks on their side to overcome the absences on Wednesday.

#GoBolts  recalled Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin ahead of tonight’s game against the NY Rangers with McDonagh and James unavailable (and placed in IR), Nick Paul not quite ready and Holmberg day to day #TBLghtning

During the recent run of success, #GoBolts have found the right balance to tip games in their favor, a turnaround from early in the season when they would stumble and fall into a loss, plus thoughts on Tom Wilson's hit on Hagel and injury updates

#TBLightning show they have the locker room skill to turn a game around with a strong two periods in Vegas that also turned around the fortunes of their three-game trip, and #GoBolts were fueled by unexpected sources after Dominic James had a night

#GoBolts headed to Denver riding a high, but with the margin between victory and defeat razor thin in the NHL, facing a challenge like Colorado requires nearly mistake-free hockey and #TBLightning were not mistake free against the Avs on Tuesday. bit.ly/4nEAnCQ

Appears #GoBolts have activated Max Crozier off injured reserve ahead of tonight's game at Colorado, meaning there's a good chance he'll be available to play tonight. #TBLightning morning skate in Denver is around 1:30 ET
Crozier was injured Oct. 14 and has missed 8 games to date

Just a heads up to everyone on my feed today, I’m out of town on a family trip for the weekend and not around for today’s 3:30 #GoBolts  game in Utah. I’ll be back around for Tuesday in Colorado. Enjoy the rest of the weekend y’all. Here’s a picture of me and my better half.

Nobody's laughing yet, but #GoBolts start of the season is now "water under the bridge" as they've quickly turned things around with a couple of tweaks to their game which were on display in latest victory against a West power #TBLightning
