Damien Cox joins Shawn McKenzie to talk about whether the Tampa Bay Lightning can make a run in the Stanley Cup playoffs without Steven Stamkos and Anton Stralman.
Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Victor Hedman will not play Tuesday due to an upper-body injury, the team announced.
#TBLightning defenseman Victor Hedman (upper body) and forward Ryan Callahan (lower body) will not play tonight. Both are day to day.

The Lightning are dealing with injuries to their best players at the worst time of the season. Steven Stamkos will be out 1-3 months with a blood clot, Anton Stralman is out indefinitely with a fractured leg and now Hedman appears to have been hurt in Monday night’s game.
So were you to pick the four players #TBLightning could ill afford to lose, three of them are now out – Stralman, Stamkos, Hedman

Ryan Callahan will also sit Tuesday with a lower-body injury.
