Erik Cernak Won't Play On Thursday
11 months agoTampa Bay Lightning defenseman Erik Cernak (upper body) isn't ready to return to the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Coyotes. He was on the ice Thursday morning but will sit out a sixth straight game. Cernak isn't expected to return on Saturday versus New Jersey, either. However, these should be the final two games Cernak misses, as the Lightning head to the All-Star break after Saturday and won't play again until Feb. 7. Maxwell Crozier has entered the lineup as Cernak's replacement, but he doesn't have any fantasy value as a bottom-pairing piece on the blue line.
