On the Dan Girardi …
E.J. Hradek: Have heard that defenseman Dan Girardi could end up with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Steve Zipay: Girardi to the Lightning makes sense. Ryan Callahan and Girardi’s families are close, the Lightning are competitive and there are a couple ex-Rangers there.
Elliotte Friedman: Talk is the Lightning have shown interest in Girardi. We’ll see if it going anywhere in the next few days.
Craig Custance: The Red Wings are one of the several teams that have reached out to Girardi.
