Lightning Round: Former Tampa Bay defenseman Bryan Marchment dies at age 53

For me, it always seemed Bryan Marchment was with the Tampa Bay Lightning a lot longer than he actually was. The veteran defender played 926 NHL games in his career, but only 22 of them came with the Lightning during his brief stay from December of 1997 to March of 1998. During that short time frame he put up 2 goals and 4 assists while racking up 43 penalty minutes. On Wednesday, his agent confirmed that the 53-year-old had passed away in Montreal where he was working for the San Jose Sharks as a scout.
