Bolts notes: Injuries mounting with loss of Condra

TAMPA — On paper, the Lightning appear banged up.

RW Erik Condra was the most recent to join that list after his head struck the end boards following a hit from New York RW Casey Cizikis in the first period of Wednesday’s Game 1 loss.

Condra appeared to be knocked briefly unconscious and needed help to get to the locker room, leaving the Lightning with only 11 healthy forwards two days before Game 2.

Yet, there seems to be some optimism that Tampa Bay will not have to use anybody from the Black Aces, the group of prospects brought up from the minor leagues to continue practice in the event they are needed.
