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

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

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
