The Lightning suspend Ian Cole

Chris Johnston: The Tampa Bay Lightning have suspended defenseman Ian Cole while he’s being investigated by the NHL for groomed and sexually assaulting an underage woman.

Elliotte Friedman: A statement from Cole via his agent: “I take the allegations made against me today in an anonymous tweet very seriously. I completely deny these allegations and will fully cooperate with the NHL and the Tampa Bay Lightning, their officials and legal departments in the forthcoming investigation. I look forward to clearing my name and demonstrating to the NHL and the Tampa Bay Lightning that these allegations are unfounded. I will have no further comment until the NHL’s investigation concludes.”
