The Tampa Bay Lightning approached Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals with more optimism as it appeared their list of injured players could be shrinking. As it turns out, there was some good news and some bad news on that Darren Helm Jersey front Monday night. After seven weeks on the shelf with a broken leg, No. 2 defenseman returned to the Lightning's lineup to give their blue line a big boost against the . That's the good news.

Not only that, but in a bit of a surprise, forward was also sidelined for Brett Hull Kids Jersey Game 2. He practiced with the Lightning on Sunday but did not participate in their optional game day skate. Getting Stralman back, however, remains huge for Tampa Bay. He is not only the Lightning's second-best defenseman after , he has become one of the best defensive players in the over the past few years and is a key piece in the Lightning lineup. When he was on the ice during 5-on-5 play this season the Lightning surrendered just 47 total shot attempts per 60 minutes. Out of the 168 defensemen that played at least 750 minutes this season, that number put Stralman 12th in the entire NHL and tops on the Lightning, just barely ahead of Hedman. Getting him back in this series would be a huge help. In net Ted Lindsay Women Jersey , the Lightning turn to , the talented 21-year-old goaltender that had to step into the Stanley Cup Final a year ago for an injured Bishop.

In 24 appearances this season he recorded a .910 save percentage. Bishop played just 12 minutes in Game 1 before having to leave the game. As bad as the injury looked at the time, the Lightning have said that it doesn't appear to be as bad as it first looked and that he is currently listed Frans Nielsen Kids Jersey as being "day-to-day." Callahan was one of Game 1's controversial figures after he hammered with a dangerous hit in the opening minutes. That drew him a major penalty, but there was no supplemental discipline.
