Erik Cernak Sits Out Tuesday's Game
12 months agoTampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Winnipeg and is considered day-to-day. Cernak suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's matchup against Montreal, exiting the game after logging less than seven minutes on the ice. The Lightning also lost Haydn Fleury (hand) at the weekend and will remain without Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) on Tuesday, meaning the blue line will be very thin. Nick Perbix looks set to replace Cernak as Victor Hedman's partner on the first defensive pairing, and he could also get some power-play time behind Hedman and Darren Raddysh.
