Defenseman Dan Boyle is through his surgery on his left wrist. As it turns out, three completely severed tendons were successfully repaired following the freak accident in the locker room last night in which a falling skate cut his wrist. The surgery took place at University Community Hospital today and was performed by team physician Dr. Ira Guttentag and hand specialist Dr. Richard Gray. Boyle, the team's top defenseman, is expected to be out 4-6 weeks.


Six players were sent to the Norfolk Admirals training camp following the game, reducing the Lightning roster to 27 heading into Monday’s game against Detroit. The cuts were D Dan Jancevski, F Blair Jones, D Jay Leach, F Norm Milley, D David Schneider, F Karl Stewart.

Vinny skated this morning, but is being held out for precautionary reasons. Gratton still out with the eye. Craig is out with back spasms. Roy, Hlavac and Ward seem o.k as they are in tonight's line-up. Obviously no Boyle for a while. Torts thinks he'll be back in 4 weeks max.
