The Tampa Bay Lightning won a big game last night, 7-3, against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Jon Cooper's team is off to a good start in this series, with a big win on the road.

However, this victory could have a bitter taste for the Lightning who lost no less than three players during the game.

Indeed, defensemen Victor Hedman and Erik Cernak, in addition to forward Mikey Eyssimont.

The organization has yet to provide an update on their condition, but let's just say it doesn't look good for the future. The Lightning could come into game two with a pretty banged up lineup, especially with two top-4 defensive backs not fully healthy.

It's still too early to tell if these injuries could play a nasty trick on Tampa Bay, but it certainly could be a turning point for the rest of the series if both defensemen were to be seriously bothered by an injury, especially for a player of Hedman's caliber.

More details to follow.
