Quick Strikes: Anton Stralman day-to-day; Jan Rutta recalled to Lightning

As always when news about players in the Tampa Bay Lightning organization trickles into the Raw Charge room, the story builds slowly and with much speculation. First, a friend of Alex sent her this Tweet, and we scratched our heads mightily about Jan Rutta’s absence.

@syrhockey: Barre-Boulet is back for the Crunch, but Gaunce and Rutta are absent. Gaunce is hurt, don't know what's up with Rutta”— Ed H (@huddydrvr) March 8, 2019

Then, we figured out what was up with Rutta when the Crunch tweeted the recall, and finally we figured out why when Bryan filled in the details.
