Lightning must adapt without injured D
As the halfway point of the 2011-2012 season nears, things haven't changed much for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are 15-17-3. They're still losing, and at least one of their goaltenders is still having problems keeping the puck out of the net.
On Tuesday -- at least for the short-term -- it got worse.
Top-two defensemen Victor Hedman and Eric Brewer went down with injuries...
